hi @amerianou,

You can use a web connector with the rest API URL and correspond tokens to get data.

Sample:

let
    rooturl = "https://xxxxx.xxxx.com/",
    token = "xxxxxxx",
    relativeURL = "xxxxx/xxxxx",
    Result =
        Web.Contents(
            rooturl,
            [
                Headers = [
                    #"Content-Type" = "application/json",
                    Authorization = "Bearer " + token,
                    RelativePath = "/api/xxxx/xxxxx"
                ],
                RelativePath = relativeURL
            ]
        )
in
    Result
