You are not saying what you are using to initiate the calls. Is this Powershell, Power Query, Power Automate?

You can run your regular API calls in Power Query, like so :

let
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/gateways/" & GatewayId & "/datasources", [Headers=[Authorization=Authorization]])),
    value = Table.FromList(Source[value],Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    #"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(value, "Column1", {"id", "gatewayId", "datasourceType", "connectionDetails", "credentialType", "credentialDetails", "datasourceName"}, {"id", "gatewayId", "datasourceType", "connectionDetails", "credentialType", "credentialDetails", "datasourceName"}),
...

You can obtain the Authorization token manually (I usually just copy it from the API sandbox) or you can register an app and use the app's token.

Here is my code, see if you can spot any differences.

let
    group = "d9db3715-2ae7-4aa1-aa44-xxx",
    dataset = "9941f7c0-e07e-4382-959c-xxx",
    auth = "Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOi-xxx",
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/" & group & "/datasets/" & dataset & "/refreshes", [Headers=[Authorization=auth]])),
    value = Source[value],
    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(value, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    #"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"id", "refreshType", "startTime", "endTime", "status", "requestId", "serviceExceptionJson"}, {"id", "refreshType", "startTime", "endTime", "status", "requestId", "serviceExceptionJson"})
in
    #"Expanded Column1"

I also use Anonymous as the login type.

It's WORKING !!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot ❤️

Good to hear.  What I don't know (but would like to) is to how to harvest the auth token automatically from within the same Power Query script.  I have tried many different things already but so far no luck. Any idea?

Sorry but i really don't know how to do that maybe with a loop ? or a Python Script ?
