REST API returning JSON data

Hi All,

 

I have a REST API that returns JSON formatted data.

 

Here's what's in Power Query Advanced Editor:

 

let

bodytext =
"{""StartDate"":""2018-01-01"",
""EndDate"":""2019-12-31""}",
url = "<removed>",
body = Json.FromValue(bodytext),

 

Source =
Json.Document(
(Web.Contents

(url
, [Headers=
[#"Content-Type"="application/json"
,Authorization="aaaaa"
, Key="1234"
, Value="1234"],

Content = body])))
in
Source

 

I'm getting a "(405): Method Not Allowed" back.   I believe it's at the Content = body line.

 

Everything is working in PostMan.  Authorization, Key, Value all are parameters, and I'm passing StartDate and EndDate in the body.

 

Appreciate any input, I've got about 5 hours into debugging... first time trying this here!

If you include the content parameter to web.contents, I believe it forces an HTTP POST method.  Is this what you are expecting?  Also, in my past experience I've always used Text.ToBinary where you are using Json.FromValue
