Hi all In the absence of an official connector for PowerBI, how can I add a connection to PowerBI manually so that I can simply use the API to access the data? I have tried the following: * Setting up an "Anonymous" PowerBI connection and sending the following with the URL:* URL: https://apieu.samanage.com/incidents/ * HEADER: "X-Samanage-Authorization" content "Bearer " * HEADER: "Accept" content "application/vnd.samanage.v2.1+json" * Setting up an "API Key" PowerBI connection with the same...* When it asks for the API Key in the "Authentication Type" window, it replies with "Can't use an API Key without an API key name" - but nowhere does it ask for one * Setting up a "Windows Authentication" connection using the same account which single-signs-on to SWSD in our organisation In all cases which get beyond the Authentication Type screen, I am sent back a "406" error - "Unacceptable". No idea what that means.

PowerBI - add connection manually

Stonelaughter

Hi all

In the absence of an official connector for PowerBI, how can I add a connection to PowerBI manually so that I can simply use the API to access the data?

I have tried the following:

Setting up an "Anonymous" PowerBI connection and sending the following with the URL:
- URL: https://apieu.samanage.com/incidents/
- HEADER: "X-Samanage-Authorization" content "Bearer <api token>"
- HEADER: "Accept" content "application/vnd.samanage.v2.1+json"
Setting up an "API Key" PowerBI connection with the same...
- When it asks for the API Key in the "Authentication Type" window, it replies with "Can't use an API Key without an API key name" - but nowhere does it ask for one
Setting up a "Windows Authentication" connection using the same account which single-signs-on to SWSD in our organisation

In all cases which get beyond the Authentication Type screen, I am sent back a "406" error - "Unacceptable".

No idea what that means.
