URL Parameters while using for API in Power BI

[BI_Analyticz]

Hi Friends, I am trying to pull a data from web using API (Basic Authentication). URL is

https://qualysapi.qualys.eu/api/2.0/fo/asset/host/vm/detection/?action=list

I am able to fetch the data successfully without issues. But now i want to include parameters in this url to pull specific data example with Status = New and Closed. 

I tried like https://qualysapi.qualys.eu/api/2.0/fo/asset/host/vm/detection/?action=list&status=New,Closed which is suggested by the application but I am getting the below error. Am I passing the conditions correctly. Or should I pass the conditions differently in Power BI?

Thanks for replying. I can use parameters but what is want to know is I am using &status=New,Closed in the URL while calling it from Power BI. is this correct ? or should I type it like &status={New,Closed} or something different ?

If I am specifying the conditions straight away in the URL. will it normally works in Power BI ?
