convert python code to M inside query

EDO_01_1789 — Fri, 22 Apr 2022 11:59:48 GMT

Hello everyone,

would anyone be able to help me translate this code which is written in python to M language in power query.

I can't convert

import http.client conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("app.salsify.com") payload = "{\n \"configuration\": {\n \"entity_type\": \"all\",\n \"filter\": \"=list:default\",\n \"properties\": \"'UPC','Product Name','Brand','Main Image','Short Description','Long Description'\",\n \"include_all_columns\": false,\n \"sort_order\": \"desc\",\n \"sort_property\": \"Brand\"\n }\n}" headers = { 'Content-Type': "application/json", 'Authorization': "Bearer s-999-999-999-999", 'User-Agent': "PostmanRuntime/7.19.0", 'Accept': "*/*", 'Cache-Control': "no-cache", 'Host': "app.salsify.com", 'Accept-Encoding': "gzip, deflate", 'Content-Length': "304", 'Cookie': "_cookie_id", 'Connection': "keep-alive", 'cache-control': "no-cache" } conn.request("POST", "api,orgs,s-999-999-999-999,export_runs", payload, headers) res = conn.getresponse() data = res.read() print(data.decode("utf-8")) # where org_id = s-999-999-999-999, api_token = YOUR-AUTH-TOKEN, and cookie id = _cookie_id

thank you for your help.

You use the regular Web.Contents() call and specify the payload in the Content section.

let url = "https://app.salsify.com", payload = "{\""configuration\"": {\""entity_type\"": \""all\"",\""filter\"": \""=list:default\"",\""properties\"": \""'UPC','Product Name','Brand','Main Image','Short Description','Long Description'\"",\""include_all_columns\"": false,\""sort_order\"": \""desc\"",\""sort_property\"": \""Brand\""}}", Source = Web.Contents(url,[Headers=[#"Content-Type"= "application/json",Authorization = "Bearer s-999-999-999-999"],Content=Text.ToBinary(payload)]) in Source

Without access to the API that's all the help we can provide.

Hello @lbendlin
sorry for taking time to answer you.
I share with you below the link of the site which gives you more information about the API. https://developers.salsify.com/reference/get-export-status

I've been trying to connect to the site for more than a week.

The site tells me to use
org_id : in our example we will use ABCDE
export_id : in our example we will use XYZ

here is the code that the site generates for me in python and I would like to transform it into M language in the query.

is this possible ?

import http.client conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("app.salsify.com") payload = "" headers = { 'Content-Type': "application/json", 'Authorization': "Bearer YOUR-AUTH-TOKEN", 'User-Agent': "PostmanRuntime/7.19.0", 'Accept': "*/*", 'Cache-Control': "no-cache", 'Host': "app.salsify.com", 'Accept-Encoding': "gzip, deflate", 'Cookie': "_cookie_id", 'Connection': "keep-alive", 'cache-control': "no-cache" } conn.request("GET", "api,orgs,s-999-999-999-999,export_runs,19350473", payload, headers) res = conn.getresponse() data = res.read() print(data.decode("utf-8")) # where export_id = 19350473 org_id = s-999-999-999-999, api_token = YOUR-AUTH-TOKEN, cookie id = _cookie_id

thanks for your help

The process is the same as in my previous response, minus the payload. You switch between POST and GET by including a content option (or not).

@lbendlin ,

I just tried this code and it doesn't work
here is my error message

here is the code I pasted in the query

let url = "https://app.salsify.com", payload = "{\""configuration\"": {\""entity_type\"": \""all\"",\""filter\"": \""=list:default\"",\""properties\"": \""'UPC','Product Name','Brand','Main Image','Short Description','Long Description'\"",\""include_all_columns\"": false,\""sort_order\"": \""desc\"",\""sort_property\"": \""Brand\""}}", Source = Web.Contents(url, [Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/json", Authorization="abcde"]]) in Source

The message is clear on what you need to do. Easiest will be to go to data source settings, remove the API source, and then refresh, specifying anonymous auth.

your "authorization" header must have the format "Bearer abcde" , not just "abcde" .

it's starting to work, but do you know why I don't have any data?

Your API call needs to be modified according to their documentation and based on what you are trying to accomplish.
