scheduled refresh not working for web datasource
Web pages require a gateway. See this article. This changed in 2018. I suspect MS got some feedback from enterprises that they didn't like users being able to comingle company data with outside web pages without the IT department making sure it was approved and appropriate to do, so they force all web pages to go through gateways now.

Thanks! That seemed to have worked although one addtional step. It seemed to have been tripping on wanting credentials for a web data source that does not require credentials. After playing around with it, it looks to not want the actual credentials as much as it wanted to the "Privacy Level" to be consistent between the web service and powerbi desktop settings. So credentials remains "anonymous" but once I switched privacy level in both to "Public" it seems to have worked. Very strange but you got me on the right track. Thanks!
