vPlanner & Power BI

Admin level users can get an API key that will allow up to access vPlanner metrics directly from Power BI.  For this to work, a user can obtain an API key using the vPlanner client.  The key will enable read-only access to vPlanner PPC metrics data so that they can be placed in Power BI dashboards.  You should treat the API key like a password and do not share it with anyone.  The key will be valid for 30 days and needs to be renewed regularly during the early phases of V5.  It will expired if the Admin user's account is disabled.  

Go to Ribbon/Setup and Click on Generate API Key
You will see a message box to confirm as once the new key is issued, any previous keys will become invalid.  When the Api Key window appears, copy the key to the clipboard.

In Power BI you can make a connection using the Web option.  Click on Get Data, Click on from another source.  
Under HTTP request Header Enter: Authorization in the first box.
Enter Bearer [APIKEYVALUE] in the second box. You should be able to connect and get data from the vPlanner server.
