I want to make a post request with authentication in power bi service

[Anonymous]

Hello, I did a post request in Power Bi Desktop and it works correctly. Now i tried to take it to Power Bi Service but it tell me that "The query could not be evaluated due to invalid or missing credentials" and the credentials was in the url of the request. I need a help to try to discover a way to make a post request in power bi service in a DataFlow as i have done in pòwer bi desktop.

Thanks for help 🙂

Hello. Sorry, i will try to explain it better.

I need to do a post request in Power BI Service (not in Desktop) but i read something like you cant do that due future security problems, that's true?? My problem is doing a post request with authentication to a API Rest.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi  @Anonymous ,

To do a post request with authentication to a Power BI RESTAPI, you can follow the steps below:

1. Register your application and get an application ID.
2. Add the Power BI API permissions to your application.
3. Get an access token.
4. Use the access token to call the Power BI REST APIs.

You can find more information on how to authenticate a REST API in Power BI in the following resources:

• Microsoft Learn
• Power BI Developer Center
