Dynamic data source refresh using Power BI Service

Hi Anybody, I need help. My M following M code works in desktop version. But when I try publish Power BI service I get the following error "This dataset includes a dynamic data source. Since dynamic data sources aren't refreshed in the Power BI service, this dataset won't be refreshed. Learn more: https://aka.ms/dynamic-data-sources.". As you see in the code below I am using relative path and query. What am I missing? Any help provided is much appreciated.

let
APIName = "scans",
myList = GetbaseURLAndAPIKeyAndlimit(),
baseURL = myList{0},
APIKey = myList{1},
mylimit = myList{2},
header = [#"x-apikey"= APIKey],
//extendedURL = baseURL & APIName & mylimit,
myList1 = {APIName, mylimit},
extendedURL = Text.Combine(myList1),
Source = Json.Document
(
Web.Contents
(
baseURL,
[RelativePath = extendedURL,
Headers = header]
)
),
Source1 = Source,
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source1, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"scan_id", "scan_type", "scan_date", "scan_description", "scan_mitigated", "asset_count", "scan_file_name", "finding_count_critical", "finding_count_high", "finding_count_medium", "finding_count_low", "finding_count_informational", "finding_count_pass", "finding_count_fail", "finding_count_warning"}, {"Column1.scan_id", "Column1.scan_type", "Column1.scan_date", "Column1.scan_description", "Column1.scan_mitigated", "Column1.asset_count", "Column1.scan_file_name", "Column1.finding_count_critical", "Column1.finding_count_high", "Column1.finding_count_medium", "Column1.finding_count_low", "Column1.finding_count_informational", "Column1.finding_count_pass", "Column1.finding_count_fail", "Column1.finding_count_warning"})
in
#"Expanded Column1"

Hi @RT8 ,

I am very sorry for the delay in responding. My problem is yet to be resolved completely. After reviewing all the posts, I understood that I cannot use a variable when calling Web.Content for the base URL. But this means I have to hard code APIKey. This solution was not acceptable to our team. Also this meant the user is anonymous which was not acceptable to power BI Service (no problems with power BI desktop). Hence we have opted to get username and password option rather than APIKey option. We are in the process of getting approvals for that option. As soon as that happens I will verify the resolution in Power BI service for data refresh and accept the solution.
