Data Source credentials

I am running into an issue while attempting to update the data with Apis, and no credentials are being added. Does anyone know what the precise problem is?

 

Failed to update data source credentials: Web. Contents failed to get contents from

'https://pmod.xxxxx.com/api/v1/projects'

Is your laptop is on the same network as the api?  The Service (powerbi.com) might not have permissions to access your company's API.  

 

If there are no keys or tokens, then what is stopping someone like me from accesing it?  A firewall?

We haven't put any restrictions in place, so anyone can access it. We've already opened up the possible ports as well, but unfortunately, we haven't been able to get past the error on Power BI yet.

The API isn't located on my computer - it's coming from the server.

Is this a new unexpected error, or are you trying to refresh for the first time?

 

Tokens and Keys expire, and unless you have a mechanism to update them, they have to be updated on each refresh.

When I try to publish my report on Power Bi and refresh for the first time an error message appears. However, no such issue arises when running the same report on my local device and there are no tokens or keys involved.
