REST API Connection through ADF with Auth Error

Question

I am working on adding a data source through a rest api in a data factory data flow. The api requires an api key, which I have. I've configured the system with the base url, auth header, and with an anonymous auth type. When testing the connection in the data flow I receive an error from the source service that the api key is missing (even though it has been specified in the authheaders section). When I add the api key to the base url I receive an error that base urls cannot have parameters passed through them in the UI configuration. I've tried this with a few different data services all with the same or similar errors.

Best,
Amanda

Hello @Anonymous ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

You could try the below alternative approach. From my research, this looks like a known issue.

Remove the API Keys from the AuthHeaders(from the REST ) and provide the API Key headers in the Additional Headers space in the Data Flow under Source Option.

Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
