Personal Gateway for web data source

Hi,

I am using Web Source to get the data from an APi, which is created for data transfer.

 

The Api is on public ip.

 

So, do I need the peronal gateway setup in the system, to get the data refresh/schedule refresh ?

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

@KBO is right. You don't need to configure gateway for web source. You could edit data source credential and then it will refresh automatically.

Hi @Anonymous ,

you don't need a gateway for this connection :).

A gateway is to push on premises data into the web.
