Data Gateway - REST API
Hi darentengmfs,
If your rest API is connected based on a web connector, it means you are work with a cloudy data source.
If you report not include other type of data sources, you not need to use a gateway to handle this type of data source refresh. Verify your credentials at 'dataset' -> 'data source credentials' then it will refresh automatically.Regards,

Simplify your testing - create a new PBIX that only has the web API data source. Make sure that works as expected both on the desktop and the service. Only then add the other on-prem data sources (and activate the gateway).
Hi Anonymous lbendlin
I am connecting Rest API with the web connector. I was given permission to access to the API so I am not sure how refreshing the report on Services works since the API is permission-based?

My dataset do have several other data sources, e.g. SQL Server, Sharepoint folder.
