Power BI Pagination & Looping using List.Generate

Anonymous — Wed, 09 Mar 2022 10:30:31 GMT

Hi everyone. I am posting again because could'nt find my solution.
ISSUE:

URL: https://vcc-na8.8x8.com/api/stats/agents//agents/{agent-id}/activities?n={offset}

As you can see in above URL that I have to add agent id every single time and this API provides 50 rows per request.
NOTE: API does not provide any information on count etc
With help of @mahoneypat I was able to create a function which allows me to extract all id's along with the pagination, PFB,

(id as text)=>

let

Source =

List.Generate( ()=>[result = try Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://vcc-na8.8x8.com",[RelativePath="/api/stats/agents/"&(id)&"/activities?n=1"])) otherwise null, n=1],

each [result]<> null,

each [result = try Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://vcc-na8.8x8.com",[RelativePath="/api/stats/agents/"&(id)&"/activities?n="&Number.ToText([n]+50)])) otherwise null, n=[n]+50],

each [result])

Source

Issue with the function:
1.Function is providing infinite tables. it is on constant loop I think.

2. When i try to invoke this function with Agent id's from new table it only formats the table with the first ID which is empty and provides null values.

3. It is on constant load. does'nt do anything.

PFB the link to my video which i have created for the better understanding. It will save your time to provide the solution.

API Documentation: https://support.8x8.com/cloud-contact-center/virtual-contact-center/developers/8x8-contact-center-st...

Requirment: Looking for a function which provides all the id's with all the rows(Pagination).

Really looking forward for someone's help.

Best,
Saad.
