How to specify HTTP request header parameter in Power BI service
Hi Sergiy,
I see you're trying to get data from the Power BI API by writing your own M code in the Power Query Editor - this is not going to work unfortunately, because it is not possible to work with APIs that use OAuth2 authentication in this way. The only way to get data from an API that uses OAuth2 authentication is by creating a custom connector; there is a reasonably easy way to do this that I describe here https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2018/11/13/openapi-power-bi-rest-api-m/ and I think other people have blogged about this too.
HTH,
Chris
