DataFormat.Error: We found extra characters at the end of JSON input

Hello,

 

I got this problem when I connect PBI with API Rest using Web.contents()

 

I don't understand what happened. Someone can explain to me ?

 

Here my code :

 

let
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("xxx", 
    [
        RelativePath = "xxx",
        Content=Text.ToBinary(""),
        Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/json", 
        Authorization="Bearer xxx"
        ]  
    ]))
    
in
    Source

 

 

Thanks !

Hi @EPetit 

It should be #"Authorization" in Headers 

 

let
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("xxx", 
    [
        RelativePath = "xxx",
        Content=Text.ToBinary(""),
        Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/json", 
        #"Authorization"="Bearer xxx"
        ]  
    ]))
    
in
    Source

Are you intentionally making this a POST request?

 

Does the same request work from an API test site? Like https://reqbin.com/
