Thank you for the video!! I've been noticing some issues with Scheduled Refresh and Web Sources, specially if you try to use another query as a building block of the web source call. There are very specific settings to make Scheduled Refresh available in this setup. Another weird thing is when you need to disable test connection because the base url doesn't return a 200 code.

@@CurbalEN One potential valuable additional topic is how to use this method with Dataflows in Power BI. I've just implemented API calls as Dataflow sources and one of the key benefits is it buffers other Power BI developers from the complexities of the query. I was able to copy the code from Power BI desktop to create the dataflows and it all worked; this is really neat. Now, I have Dataflows on scheduled refresh for multiple Power BI reports to use. One other feature I implemented in the queries is time delays between the calls to stop the API erroring.

Well done :)

thank you so much, i have been searching endlessly for a solution to auto refresh data from a web source. I read about options to have an SQL database, but I wanted to do it without one. This helped me a lot

Excellent tutorial. i needed to automate a refresh on an API as this method worked perfectly. I would never have figured this out without these instructions.

Short and crisp video. Excellent.

I have one of custom API which I have able to access in power BI Desktop which required access token authenticate but not able to refresh schedule in power bi serrvice it ask for Credential data source

Using this method, I tried to connect to Jira and was able to schedule refresh. But it fails and throws error "too many requests" on service. However, I am able to refresh from within pbix successfully.

Hi. I’m fetching data via a python api which I made from polarion (gives a json response). I made a report and refreshed it on power bi desktop. It is working fine and the changes (if any are made within polarion) are getting reflected in the report. However, once I publish my report to power bi service and click on refresh, it is showing me the following error: Processing error: Unable to connect to the remote sever Why is this happening? I also have my API running and no sorts of credentials are applied. I even tried asking on the Power BI community, but didn’t get any help yet. Your insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

Everything works for me on Power BI Desktop and Reports Server, but I can't get refresh to work on workspace - Credentials error, and Data source credentials are greyed out. I've waited for the longest time, they don't become active. Any idea how to fix this?

I have a somewhat similar and weird situation. What happened was that my data used to be from SQL server which had to use a gateway to refresh. Then recently came the migration to Dynamics 365 (which didn't need any gateway). But to my horror, somehow I cannot "turn off the gateway" as the Power BI service insist I need to use the gateway even though I was sure there are nothing that links to the SQL server. Then I realised there are some Excel data sources which I unlinked and I was then able to configure the refresh. What's even more weird was that I link back the Excel sources the Power BI using D365 data sources, re-published and it was still fine (no insistence of using the gateway as well). Any possible explanations to this? But in any case, hope this is useful to anyone out there with the same situation as me.

Excel sources might be reason you needed the gateway?

can you show us how it is done from google sheets...please

Do we need to do it for all the API calls made dynamically?

@@CurbalEN In the case where a query parameter has more than 1 value for example, mail?mailbox=inbox, return_fields =statusid,docinfo,attributes, search_type=PAGED, how would this work?

When I do this it works welll, but now it is asking for a Gateway, do we need to install a gateway for this to work properly?

Yes, web.Contents requires a PERSONAL gateway :(

I'm running into an issue with calling usda data. One of the query parameter includes spaces. If I typed the query direct into browser with spaces, it works. When using web.contents the spaces are escaped it seems, and the escape characters become part of the url. In doing so, the api call doesn't work. Any ideas?
