I am trying to use financial information like General Ledger Details from the Sage Intacct API (Oauth) as a data source in Power BI. I've seen reccomendations to use a Power Automate custom connector which I am able to get to function and connect to https://api.intacct.com/ia/xml/xmlgw.phtml and recieve the same results I see in postman.
My question is now that I have a custom connector in Power Automate how do I use Visual Studio to get the swagger file from the custom connector into a .mez to use in Power BI as a data source? Or is there maybe a better way to accomplish this?
here is the swagger file from the power automate custom connector with credentions as ******:

"I've seen reccomendations to use a Power Automate custom connector"
That is unfortunate. Power BI custom connectors are written in M, not in Swagger. You'll have to start over.
