Data source: Web Power Query uses the Web connector to fetch data from APIs (which typically return JSON or XML). Authentication method: Basic Since you have a username and password, the most common authentication for APIs that require these is Basic Authentication (username and password sent encoded in the HTTP header). If the API uses some other auth method (like OAuth), that would differ, but given username/password, Basic Auth is the standard.
