Power BI
Needs VotesBypass test connection/Ignore failure for Web Sources that depend on authorization header
Elton Sequeira on 09 May 2017 00:55:48
The power BI service runs a test connection on Web API data sources before pulling data. However for Web Sources whose response depends on a required authorization header fail to authenticate in the power bi service while setting up a scheduled refresh. The source is accessed using Web.Contents and by passing the URL, Relative path and authorization header. This works perfectly fine in Power BI desktop since it executes the GET request along with the authorization header without a test connection. If the same could be done in power bi service by either bypassing the test connection or ignoring failures then a schedule refresh could be setup.

This feature is really missing in power bi service. It does not allows us to publish and Schedule reports using API such as Microsoft cognitive services.

Hi
We have the same problem.
We are using Web data source with authorization header and it works in PowerBI desktop version, however it doesn't work in PowerBI web (app.powerbi.com)

RE: Bypass test connection/Ignore failure for Web Sources that depend on authorization header
This is pretty terrible. Has anyone got a workaround to make it work in the Power BI Service?

Really need this! Otherwise no dashboard or report with the text analyses from the Cognitive services!
