Solved: JSON on private GitHub repo

david_obrien1 · ‎10-16-2022

Hi,

I'd like to build a report based on a json file that's within a private GitHub repo.

That file is regularly updated and I'd like the report to automatically pick those changes up.

Is this possible? I couldn't find a way to get the json file from the repo.

Thanks,

David

Hi， @david_obrien1

To load a JSON file from the web, select the Web connector, enter the web address of the file, and follow any credential prompts.

You may need to create a personal access token in GitHub and then use the Basic authentication method to connect PowerBI to private GitHub.
Please check the below similar thread.
