    Hi Ruth, I always enjoy your videos! I'm wrestling with getting data from the Harvest time tracker. This is an account where we have a login, so it's not a straightforward process (although they do have a rest API). I'm clueless about API's and wondered if you had any videos where you deal with security, tokens, etc? Thanks!

    Would you please make a video on, how to get Data from RESTful API which has "two Factor Authentication" e.g. Maconomy RESTful API framework.
    Thank you.

    Hi, Ruth, great content as always!
    Do you know a way to get a user input (by a slicer) and then call the API based on that value?
    Exe: User select a radius length in a slicer than you call the API to get the area on the fly

    • @CurbalEN
      @CurbalEN  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      M query parameters, but they don’t work with an api only in direct query. Maybe if you do dataflow first?

      Well, there are around 1M different ways to authenticate so it needs to be managed case by case. Bummer…

    Hi, i am able to establish connection with API and able to refresh in power bi service also without any issue. BUT, when i publish my report to premium workspace and tried to refresh its throwing me this error => DataSource.Error: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.. "API URL" . . The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface. Table: "Table Name"
