Helper IIIIs Gateway Needed when I am loading Data from Jira API & Local Excel File
Hi. This is not an issue about Jira. If you connect just to Jira API, you shouldn't need a gateway at all. However, the local excels demand the onpremise data gateway. You could upload those excels to a Sharepoint. That way all your sources would be cloud and you could refresh without the gateway just configuring the credentials at Power Bi Service.
I hope that helps,

Note: My workspace is Premium Capacity
I am using web.contents function in the ( Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://jira.tools.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.us/rest/api/2/search?jql=project%20%3D%20SMAR%20AND%20issuetype%20in%20(bug%2C%20story%2C%20epic)%20and%20fixVersion%20%3D%20" & FixVersionName & "&maxResults=1000&fields=key,summary,fixVersions,priority,status,components,issuetype"))
and getting the data from API's
Note : All are cloud data
Questions:
1. Do i need a Gateway installation here? If yes, why beacuse i am using data from cloud, right?
2. If we don't need a gateway then why the Data soure credential option + Refresh Option are greyed out?
3. If i don't need a gateway, do i need to login or must be in online while refreshing the Semantic model in service?
4. If still I no need a gateway, I am not able to set up a schedule refresh even though my workspace is backed by Premium capacity.
Super UserHi. Two things here. First try ro recreate you web.contents with good practices like relativepath or query like this: https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2016/08/16/using-the-relativepath-and-query-options-with-web-contents-in-power-query-and-power-bi-m-code/
Second and most important, it sounds like the issue could be the sharepoint/onedrive. Please check this video out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYSMZxaXNLk

Actually I just tried with Only Sharepoint/One drive data source, i am able to refresh + set up the schedule refresh without a gateway here.
I think the problem is here Jira & Other API'sIn my work: If i login to Jira i must coonect to a VPN then only able to login to jira and see/check my user stories & tasks ( Is it related to Public API's or Private API's or an VPN connection ? )
2. I just tested it ( I turned off/disconnected the VPN, then i refreshed the sematic model manually, failed. again turned on/connected the VPN - refreshed the sematic model manually , success.
