As of yet, Power BI can not query an API that uses authentication via a token added to the HTTP header. While this works when used in Power BI Desktop, the query crashes after uploading to powerbi.com.

RE: Get data from API with authentication token
ZappySys has released Drivers for REST API (JSON / XML / SOAP). Using these drivers you can connect to virtually any API service in Power BI. It comes with many advanced options such as OAuth Token, Pagination, Error Handling , Query Editor and many more. See below links.

'I'm having the same troubles. It works in power bi desktop, but I cannot set up auto refresh in power bi service. Data are extracted as follows:
= Web.Contents("https://app.idoklad.cz/developer/api/IssuedInvoices?PageSize=1000000&Page=1",[Headers=[#"SecureToken" = "",#"X-App" = "iSmart",#"X-App-Version" = "1.0"]])
