Is this a public API?  If so, you can provide it and the community can provide the needed M code.

 

Does the Source step of your query look like this?  (check by clicking on Advanced Editor or viewing the Formula Bar in the query editor)

 

let
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("http://mywebapi"))
in
    Source

Pasted this from here - https://www.edureka.co/community/26876/how-can-i-connect-my-web-api-with-power-bi-reports

 

If this works for you, please mark it as solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

If you are trying to connect to a Web API that gives a JSON response, use the Web connector instead.  It will recoginize the response as JSON and you navigate/extract your data from there.
