    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    It seems you want to post a request, we need to ues Contens record in Web.Contents as following:

     

    let
    ContentBody = "{
    ""spec"": {
        ""ids"": [""0001""],
        ""interval"":""HOUR"",
        ""expressions"": [
            ""CompoundChilledWaterConsumptionForecast""
        ],
        ""start"": ""2020-01-01T00:00:00.000"",
        ""end"": ""2020-01-02T09:00:00.000"",
        ""include"": ""start, end, interval, count, dates, data, timeZone, unit""
        }
    }",
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://URL/api/1/engie-osep/prod/Facility?action=evalMetrics", [Headers=[#"Authorization"="Basic xxxxxxx"], Contens=ContentBody]))
in
    Source

     

    Please refer to following document about Web.Contents function:

Well,

 

The 400 Bad Request error is an HTTP status code that means that the request you sent to the website server, often something simple like a request to load a web page, was somehow incorrect or corrupted and the server couldn't understand it.

 

I imagine it has something to do with the Headers you are sending.
