It provides step-by-step instructions to set up the connector with the necessary headers.

    Update: 
    It works just in PowerBI Desktop.
    In order to use it online i must have a PowerBI Gateway but, as specified in the post, I'm connecting to some exposed web REST APIs in order to get the data, so i don't have access to that system. 
    Furthermore, i'm creating a template in order to create an App, so i need that everyone could see their data.
