Hello dear Kal
thank you for your prompt response,

Yes, I have visited these articles and I couldn’t get the data from my survey.
Do you think that the reason is that I am using eu.kobotoolbox.org not kf or kc?

My best regards

Thank dear Osman,

Am trying to connect a survey to Power Bi using Get data > From Web, in Advanced i added the URL part as follows:

https://eu.kobotoolbox.org/api/v2/assets/aN8tqZ2rirhSVajtEJ3HKu/export-settings/esM6jLytpGLuLJKeZByzqer/data.xlsx

I even tried this link: https://eu.kobotoolbox.org/assets/aN8tqZ2rirhSVajtEJ3HKu/submissions/?format=json

and in HTTP parameter i added in the Header “Authorization” and in the next tab i typed “Token XXXXXXXX” the X is the API
When click OK to connect i got this error in the image

Please how it can be solved, thanks

Based on the image you shared, you connect the data. I think you already tried to use this data source by using username and password, but you are trying to log in as anonymously. try to reset the data sources settings, you can find it under the get data - data source settings then you can clear the kobo web site settings one by one or you can reset all. After that try to connect again with same method
