Application Insights Rest API Refresh Failure on Power BI Service

[nka]

I made some reports using Application Insights Rest API on Power BI Desktop and uploaded them to Power BI Service. When I refresh data on Power BI Desktop, it works without problem. However, when I try refreshing data on Power BI Service, I get this error.

"Your data source can't be refreshed because the credentials are invalid. Please update your credentials and try again."

The API should work with Anonymous authentication method because the X-API-Key is provided in the header of the API. Can anyone help me solve this issue? Thanks a lot!

Hi @nka,

Based on my research, I found two similar threads, please have a look at suggestions mentioned in below links:

Anonymous access

Power BI Online return Credential Invalid Error on Anonymous Access of API URL

Thanks a lot @v-yulgu-msft,

I found the API URL does not accept an anonymous access at the root or subsequent levels. Therefore, I will use analytics queries instead.
