Select Integration Service Project and in new project window set the appropriate name and location for project. And click OK.
In the new SSIS project screen you will find the following:
1. SSIS ToolBox on left side bar
2. Solution Explorer and Property Window on right bar
3. Control flow, data flow, event Handlers, Package Explorer in tab windows
4. Connection Manager Window in the bottom
Note: If you don't see ZappySys SSIS PowerPack Task or Components in SSIS Toolbox, please refer to this help link.
Now, Drag and Drop SSIS Data Flow Task from SSIS Toolbox. Double click on the Data Flow Task to see Data Flow designer.
From the SSIS toolbox drag and API Source (Predefined Templates) on the data flow designer surface, and double click on it to edit it:
Select New Connection to create a new connection:

Proceed with selecting the desired Authentication Type. Then select API Base URL (in most cases default one is the right one). Finally, fill in all the required parameters and set optional parameters if needed. You may press a link Steps to Configure which will help set certain parameters. More info is available in Authentication section.

User Credentials [OAuth]

OAuth App must be created in Microsoft Azure AD. These settings typically found here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-register-app-v2. [API Help..]

Steps to get Power BI Credentials : User Credentials [OAuth]

Firstly, login into Azure Portal and there create an OAuth application:

Go to Azure Portal and login there.
Then go to Azure Active Directory.
On the left side click menu item App registrations
Then proceed with clicking New registration.
Enter a name for your application.
Select the account types to support with the Supported account types option.
In Redirect URI, select Web.
In the textbox enter https://zappysys.com/oauth as the Redirect URI or another valid redirect URL.
Use this same Redirect URI in the Redirect URI (must match App Redirect URL) grid row.
Copy Client ID and paste it into the API Connection Manager configuration grid in the Client ID row.
Click on the Endpoints link and copy the OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint (v2) URL to the Authorization URL grid row. Usually it looks similar to this:
- https://login.microsoftonline.com/daed1250-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-ef0a982d3d1e/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
Copy the OAuth 2.0 token endpoint (v2) URL to the Token URL grid row. Usually it looks similar to this:
- https://login.microsoftonline.com/daed1250-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-ef0a982d3d1e/oauth2/v2.0/token
Close "Endpoints" popup and create a Client Secret in the Certificates & secrets tab.
Proceed by clicking New client secret and setting expiration period. Copy the client secret and paste it into configuration grid in Client Secret row.
Now lets setup permissions for the app. Click on API Permissions and on the page click Plus Sign Add Permission
Click on Microsoft Graph API and then choose Delegated Permissions
on Permission list page search or choose permissions as needed. We need to enable following Permissions from 2 Sections: Microsoft Graph API and Power BI Service.
Make sure you have checked below permissions (If you do not need Write feature then you can skip Write scopes)
```
offline_access
Dataset.ReadWrite.All
```
Click Generate Token to generate tokens.
That's it!
