Hi all,
from my understanding Power BI has no connectors for API using Oauth 2.
Does any of you knows of any custom connectors?
Or does anyone ever connected Power Bi to an API that uses OAuth?

Any help would be appriciated

Hi Greg,

I belive in my corpo we use OAuth to verify connection to servers. However I know nothing HOW it works 🙂 It’s all delivered to us by IT Departament.

I’ve had the same problem. I didn’t even try building a custom connector – yours would have to be specific to what you are trying to connect to, but you can Google for instructions on how to do it.

Oauth – I haven’t used it yet, but there is plenty of info on the web. I’ve used anonymous authentication with multiple steps, and it isn’t too difficult.

This seems to offer a way to connect to OAuth2 ….
