Getting Data from Elastic Stack with REST with Scroll
- 9 years ago
There have been a few different threads like this but I believe the solution lies in creating a Power Query function that you call recursively. Here is an example of functions and recursion on a completely unrelated topic but might get you there:

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
For anyone else that runs into this problem, here's the first iteration of a working function:
let RecursiveElasticFetch = (queryUrl, scrollUrl, scrollId, counter) => let Counter = if (counter = null) then 0 else counter, Results = if (scrollId = null) then Json.Document(Web.Contents(queryUrl)) else Json.Document(Web.Contents(scrollUrl&scrollId, [Headers=[MyHeader=Text.From(Counter)]])), ParsedResults = Table.FromList(Results[hits][hits], Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error), Return = if (Counter < 10) then ParsedResults & RecursiveElasticFetch(queryUrl, scrollUrl, Results[_scroll_id], Counter+1) else ParsedResults in Return in RecursiveElasticFetchFor the parameters:
queryUrl - The query URL that kicks off the search: http://elasticsrch-dev:9200/intranet*/_search?scroll=1m&source={....}
scrollUrl - The URL used for subsequent searches (the scroll id is appended at the end): http://elasticsrch-dev:9200/_search/scroll?scroll=1m&scroll_id=
scrollId - Used to pass the scroll_id to subsequent calls. Leave it blank for the first call
counter - Used to limit the number of iterations. Leave it blank for the first call.
I haven't needed to do so yet.
I believe that the solutions on this page may help you though. They should how to pass headers through when making a web.contents call.
Thanks for you comment, I getting only a set of record not the whole dataset , Do you suggest me something?
