Using multiple APIs in Power BI Service
I'm trying to get data from multiple APIs (see the script below for 2 of them). In the desktop the query does refresh, but in the service it gives the following error:
This dataset includes a dynamic data source. Since dynamic data sources aren't refreshed in the Power BI service, this dataset won't be refreshed. Learn more: https://aka.ms/dynamic-data-sources.
I've read multiple topics about this, but I still don't understand how to fix it, since I need data (project id) from the first API in the second API.
let
headers = [Authorization="XXX"],
base = "https://sentry.io/api/0",
//Get all project ids and names
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(base&"/projects/", [Headers = headers])),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"id", "name"}, {"id", "name"}),
#"Removed Other Columns1" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Expanded Column1",{"id", "name"}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Other Columns1",{{"id", Int64.Type}}),
//Function GetTeamsData
GetTeamsData= (page as number) as table =>
let Source2 = Json.Document(Web.Contents(base&"/projects/COMPANYNAME/" & Number.ToText(page) & "/teams/", [Headers=headers])),
#"Converted to Table2" = Table.FromList(Source2, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column2" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table2", "Column1", {"id", "slug"}, {"id", "slug"}),
#"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Column2",{{"id", Int64.Type}, {"slug", type text}})
in
#"Changed Type2",
// Use GetTeamsData fuction to get slug
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each GetTeamsData([id])),
#"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom", {"slug"}, {"slug"})
in #"Expanded Custom"

Please follow the documentation. Use RelativePath and Query parameters. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/web-contents#example-1

Hi lbendlin,
Thanks for your response. How do I create variable parameters? I forgot to mention that the list of project ids can increase.
