Hi,
I suddenly have a 'The credentials are invalid' error for my various API calls to 2 different systems via an API key. Everything was working fine for weeks. If I try to edit the credentials, it gives me the "A web API key can only be specified when a web API key name is provided" error.
If I try to edit the settings, it now looks like a JSON call and I cannot edit the HTTP Header or insert the API key.
My CSV calls are working fine. I cannot rebuild the query, as it also gives me the 'A web API key can only be specified...".
I am using a gateway and it is on.
What could be the issue? Please help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I managed to solve it! The datasources stopped trying to login "Anonymous" and were now on "Basic" mode.
After I tried your suggestion I actually got a different error:
The 'X-SmartToken' header is only supported when connecting anonymously. These headers can be used with all authentication types: Accept, Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Cache-Control, Content-Type, If-Modified-Since, Prefer, Range, Referer
Based on this error, I found the solution here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Remote-API-Access-to-data-source-sudden-errors/td-p/627973
Thanks!
