Add oauth(2) as an option to authenticate for e.g. web.contents.

This is enabled via Custom Connectors: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/startingtodevelopcustomconnectors

RE: oauth

Is there an alternative for accessing AAD data without writing a custom connector? Graph API requires oauth2.

RE: oauth

Custom connectors are great but sadly it seems they won't be supported in Excel for some time (if ever):

"The Excel team has decided not to support custom data connectors just yet. They would like to do it eventually but aren't committing to any particular timeframe" on May 9, 2019, from https://github.com/microsoft/DataConnectors/issues/82#issuecomment-491022418

Generic support for OAuth2 would be extremely helpful.

RE: oauth

This is hindering most of the users from using PowerBI, especially the difficulty in developing the custom connector and unavailability of the Power BI Report Server to pull the data from Web easily

RE: oauth

"You need to install the Power Query SDK in addition to Visual Studio. To be able to test your connectors, you should also have Power BI installed." --That's quite a bit of unwanted trouble. You are losing Unix-based customers.
