Failed to update data source credentials: Web.Contents failed to get contents from... (Custom API)
Hi. Before I continue I want to say that the best practice will always be getting data direct from source. Try explaining your company that it's importante to get data from there and not from API.
Now, it looks like you have built the API. That might mean the API can only be requested from your local network. That's why you can get data from desktop but you can't get it from Service. Even though Web.Content doesn't need gateway, you might need you in case your API only responds in local network.
Just to recap. 404 means the address can't be reach. It can be because it's wrong like you have typed it wrong or because you can't get there.
I hope that helps,

Hi ibarrau,
I am facing similar issue. In your experience what do you think is a possible solution for this issue? Is to create a Gateway for the API? How do I do that?
Thanks!
