Can't refresh data because "API Key was expected to be provided in the header for this call"
I've created a dahsboard, of which the source is Lead Forensics' API (they identify businesses veiwing our wensite).
In desktop I connect without any issues like this:
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://interact.leadforensics.com/WebApi_v2/Visit/GetAllVisits?datefrom=01-01-2020 00:00:00&dateto=31-12-2030 23:59:59&pagesize=999999&pageno=1", [Headers=[#"Authorization-Token"="XXXXXXXXXXXXXX", #"ClientID"="XXXXX"]])),
visits1 = Source[SiteVisitList],
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(visits1, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)
in
#"Converted to Table"
The problem starts when I try to set up a data refresh. In Data Source credentials I get the "Your data source can't be refreshed because the credentials are invalid. Please update your credentials and try again." notification as presented below:
When I get to changing the credentials I wanted to use the standard "Annonymous" and "none" settings like I always do with APIs, but I get this error:
"Failed to update data source credentials: Web.Contents failed to get contents from 'https://interact.leadforensics.com/WebApi_v2/Business/GetAllBusinesses?datefrom=01-01-2010%2000:00:00&dateto=31-01-2025%2023:59:59&pagesize=10000&pageno=1' (400): The Lead Forensics API Key was expected to be provided in the header for this call."
What am I doing wrong?
I have finally managed to solve the problem witrh a little bit of help from blopez11 which he posted here
let vBaseUrl = "https://interact.leadforensics.com", vPath = "WebApi_v2/Visit/GetAllVisits?datefrom=01-01-2020 00:00:00&dateto=31-12-2030 23:59:59&pagesize=999999&pageno=1", vHeaders = [#"Authorization-Token"="THIS IS WHERE I PUT THE AUTH TOKEN", #"ClientID"="THIS IS WHERE I PUT THE ID"], Source = Web.Contents ( vBaseUrl, [RelativePath=vPath, Headers=vHeaders] ), Json = Json.Document ( Source ), SiteVisitList = Json[SiteVisitList], #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(SiteVisitList, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error), in #"Converted to Table"Awesome thanks, you're amazing man!

Web.Contents has an option specifically for the API Key. use it.
Yes. Specify ApiKeyName
Thanks. Do you mean I should add the api key (which is the same as authorization token) like this:
" Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://interact.leadforensics.com/WebApi_v2/Visit/GetAllVisits?datefrom=01-01-2020 00:00:00&dateto=31-12-2030 23:59:59&pagesize=999999&pageno=1", [Headers=[#"Authorization-Token"="XXXXXXXXXXXX", #"ClientID"="XXXXX", #"x-api-key"="XXXXXXXXXXXX"]])),"
?
Or add the "api key's name" (which I don't know) ?
Your ApiKeyName seems to be "x-api-key".
