Unable to refresh data from REST API in Power BI Service

[Anonymous]

Hi Team, 

I am connecting to a REST API using the method - 

https://kickassdataprojects.com/how-to-connect-power-bi-to-an-external-api-using-oauth-2

I have other data sources as well. If I refresh manually through the desktop, the refresh works. 

However unable to setup a automatic refresh in the service. 

Authentication Mehtod - Anonymous

Error in Service - 

Failed to update data source credentials: The credentials provided for the Web source are invalid.

Please suggest any workaround to refresh the dataset.

Thanks in advance.

I have seen some cases where people have supplied some random credentials even for anonymous auth, and that made the error message go away. Maybe you can try that.
