unable to connect web api
Hi,
Trying to connect a new data source(web api) in a large pbix file, but it's unable to connect and not showing any error message. Alternatively same source (web api) is connecting another pbix file promptly. Seems like something wrong in existing pbix file, but could not figure out it. Here is the web api: https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat=55.6761&lon=12.5683&exclude=current,minutely,daily&appid=?&units=metric
Any solutions!

Have you check if the request require authentication. For web pages that require login, the sever may return response status '401'.
There are some tutorials you could refer to:
Tutorial: Importing and analyzing data from a Web Page using Power BI Desktop
how to connect my web api wtih Power BI Reports?
