Python is really good at calling APIs, and it actually gives you alle the functionality you need to call APIs no matter encryption method and format.

I would be happy to see libraries like the following supported in PBI Service:
- requests
- hashlib
- hmac
- base64
- datetime
- time
- xml.etree.cElementTree

requests enable you to call almost any type of APIs, and the other libraries are really handy (and often mandatory) for encoding/decoding and formatting.

Unfortunately, I would not be able to do all this in Power Query SDK, and I don't see why you would continue developing this when you already have such a good alternative out there :)
