Power BI Desktop - Unable to pull from OData feed using Token authentication

[r_beacroft]

Hi,

Am newbie to Power BI.

We have an OData feed that supports token authentication.

i.e. requests contain a header with "Authorization Token [guid]"

How can I configure Power BI to be able to call ourOData feed?

Is this possible?

Kind Regards,

Rik

Hi @r_beacroft,

If you connect to OData feed using the following entry, and then enter your password, are you able to get desired result?

If not, add a new blank query in Power BI Desktop, then paste one of the following codes in Advanced Editor and check if you get expected result.

let 
Source = OData.Feed("URL", null, [Headers = [Authorization = "Bearer Your token" ] ])
in
Source

let    
Source = Web.Contents("URL", [Headers=[#" Authorization  " = "Bearer Your token"]])
in
Source

There are a similar thread and blog for your reference.
