    Nearly every post required that you end up having to create workaround to perform get requests for REST APIs with the Web.Contents connectors within Power BI. One in particular is submitting the Authorization and Bearer tokens. This is almost always overly cumbersome and could be resolved by adding an additional dropdown parameter for Authorization out of the box along with Bearer or no Bearer token based on selection.

    If this could support setting the Keyname for the Authorization Header, so that it can support "Bearer", "APIKey", "API Token", or whatever key name the API Service requires, that would be awesome.Having to use scripts to set the Authorization header for the API Calls prevents them from being run in a DataFlow Gen 2 in a Fabric Workspace.
