How can I consume a REST endpoint that requires Basic authentication?
When I go to Power Apps -> Entities -> Get Data -> Web API, the only available options are:

Unfortunately basic auth is not available as an option in CDS Dataflows.
You could setup a custom connector for that API and then consume that connector in a Power Automate flow. More information at the reference below.
