Date-less Data
I am a new user to Power BI, although a long time developer and IT person generally. I mention this to provide some context as I may use words familiar to me but may need to be translated to Power BI...
Save the results of your REST API calls into JSON files on a file share (for example a SharePoint). Then use the File create date as your timestamp.
Do not attempt to use Power BI for data storage. Bad things will happen. Power BI is a reporting tool, it has no memory.
Thank you for the response. I was beginning to suspect that, but it does make perfect sense. I'll find another solution for the data collection itself. Coming from a SQL background I was assuming that pulling something into tables meant ACTUAL tables.
