Hi,
I'm trying to find a way to pass the value of bearer token from a text file to my API
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/gateways"),[Headers=[Authorization="Bearer "+ Lines.FromBinary(File.Contents("C:\works\pbi\Bearer.txt"))
But I was not able to successfully go through the step.
My Text file only contains the Bearer value like below
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Jayendran,
I hope it'll work now 🙂
Use Text.FromBinary instead of Lines.FromBinary. Because Lines.FromBinary returns a list of strings, but you want to have just one value of the data type text.
Hi @Jayendran,
I personally recommend to split a long expression into shorter ones because you can debug every step separately.
The problem in your query was using + for concatenating of strings instead of &.
TokenType = "Bearer", Token = Lines.FromBinary(File.Contents("C:\works\pbi\Bearer.txt")), Source = Json.Document(
Web.Contents("https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/gateways"),
[Headers=[Authorization=TokenType & " " & Token]]
)
Hi @Nolock
I tried your solution, It giving error like below
Expression.Error: We cannot convert a value of type Record to type Number.
Details:
Value=Record
Type=Type
This is my new code
let TokenType = "Bearer", Token = Lines.FromBinary(File.Contents("C:\Jay\works\pbi\Gateway_Report\Bearer.txt")), Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/gateways"),[Headers=[Authorization=TokenType & " " & Token]]) in Source
Hi @Jayendran,
there is also another problem I haven't seen before. There was a wrong bracket in the function Web.Contents.
let TokenType = "Bearer", Token = Lines.FromBinary(File.Contents("C:\Jay\works\pbi\Gateway_Report\Bearer.txt")), Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/gateways",[Headers=[Authorization=TokenType & " " & Token]])) in Source
Thanks @Nolock another error now
Expression.Error: We cannot apply operator & to types Text and List.
Details:
Operator=&
Left=Bearer
Right=List
Any clue to fix this ?
