Hi,
I have a report with a web API as data source. The authentication is Anonymous and the privacy level is Public:
The actual authentication is within where it uses a Bearer token to authenticate:
This works fine in Power BI Desktop, when I click the Refresh button the data gets refreshed.
However, in Power BI online this fails, the settings are the same however:
So I have no idea why it is working in Desktop but failing Online?
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi. Have you tried skipping the test connection? APIs can be difficult to validate authentication at service. Desktop will just run code without validations. I have a similar issue with power bi rest api that was fixed just skipping the text for the request.
I hope that helps,
Happy to help!

Yes! That made the difference indeed!
Thanks, wasn't expecting that this would make a difference.
