Web.Contents failed to get contents (400) bad request error
I am getting the subject error when I try to query the advanced hunting api in Defender. The query works fine in the Defender portal. Can anyone provide any troubleshooting tips?
Hi DLGross,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.
The suggestion from lbendlin, is a great starting point. Testing your API call in Postman can help determine whether the issue is with the API itself or how it’s being called using Web.Contents.
If it works in Postman, the issue might be related to:
- Make sure you are using a valid OAuth 2.0 token with the required permissions (AdvancedHunting.Read or AdvancedHunting.Read.All).
- Ensure you are using the correct endpoint for the Advanced Hunting API. The API requires a POST method, not GET.

Thank you.
