Using Webtrends REST URL as a datasource
Anonymous,
I note that the Webtrends supports basic authentication, you can try to specify authentication in Headers and use Power Query code to connect to the data source. There is as similar thread for your reference.

Hi Lydia,
OK So I think you are suggesting that I have to pass my Username and Password as parameters within the Get Data conversation using the web connector, which makes sense. I can enter parameters using the "Advanced" option however there are a bewildering number of parameters and I am not sure which parameter to use to pass my Webtrends Logon Username and Password, Can you help with that? I have enclosed a screenshot below that shows the relevant connector configuration box I am trying to complete. Each Parameter can only be used once so that scuppered my initial try which was to pass two separate parameters, Username and Password as Authorisation parameters
Not sure which parameters to use to pass my username and password?
So I guess the crucial question is:
How do I pass my logon credentials to the https://generator.webtrends.com/logon site using the web connector so that it will return the results of my datasource REST URL query?
Hi, Can anyone help with this?
Still no response to this query?
