Authentication Required - Remove this step

I am trying to setup a connection using the Web Connector.

 

I have a successful attempt in Postman - but I'm struggling to format the request properly in Power BI. This isn't my normal forte - any help would be great!

Hi @heathernicole,

 

You can have a look at below similar samples:

Pull data from a REST API Authentication

Get Data from Twitter API with Power Query

 

From the second image you provided, the value of basic authentication used for this API is the highlighted part. But looks different from the one you typed in URL Headers in desktop.

Ok  - so I've noticed something different when trying to connect. 

 

Here's a better view with matching data so it makes more sense.

 

It switched my images - but I have my settings based on the requirements from Kintone docs for BASIC Authentication ( https://developer.kintone.io/hc/en-us/articles/212495188/#userauthentication

 

But when I go to select Anonymous - per another Power BI community post (https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Pull-data-from-a-REST-API-Authenticatio...

 

I get a credentials error. However I noticed in the dropdown - it doesn't specify the app id number anymore (210) and it doesn't give me the option. Hence why the credentials aren't working. The API token is specific to that app in Kintone.

 

Any ideas why it's altering the URL or something I'm missing?

 

Thanks in advance!

It is - that one is created by Postman - I didn't put it there.
