I have a data source connected to Web API, but when doing refresh in Power Bi Service, it comes up with the credential is invalid...
So i try to use the Skip Test Connection. Will this option still refresh my Web API data?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Depends on how you authenticate. If you indicated "anonymous" and then supply client ID and secret , or API key as part of your API call then it might work.
Please provide more details.
