Data Gateway internal web service - parameter breaks data pull

We have an internal web service that we can access fine using PowerBI Desktop. We simply use Get Data > Web, then enter in the URL.

 

Our API has many different endpoints so we are creating each endpoint as a separate datasource. I.e.

 

https://webservice.domain.local/endpoint1

https://webservice.domain.local/endpoint2

https://webservice.domain.local/endpoint3

 

This is all working fine until we add another enpoint that requires a parameter.

 

https://webservice.domain.local/endpoint4?parameter=value

 

This works fine from PowerBI desktop. 

 

I publish the data and setup a data source for the new URL.

The problem is that with this new datasource it will not let me select the Gateway. I choose the appropriate source under Maps To but it simply will not let me select the dataset. It is if it does not think that the data source is appropriate for the URL in the dataset.

 

Has anyone else had problems when using web sources with paramaters?

Hi @armibewo ,

Please check the data sources in your PBIX file in Power BI Desktop. How many data sources are there, then how many data sources need to be configured in the service.
