API, bearer and published dashboard

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I made a report with api rest as data source, and bearer to got the authorization, i used "web" as data source, put the api link, put "authorization" as header parameter and "Bearer [bearer_token]" as value.

But how do i do to setup the data update when i pulish my report ? I dont know how to specify the bearer for the API (do i have to do it ?).

Hi @Anonymous ,

What did you mean set up the data update? Did you mean schedule refresh, it can be configured just as other data source. 

Are you want to retrieve bearer token from power bi ? Please refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63400612/how-do-i-retrieve-a-bearer-token-from-a-service-in-power-bi
