topic Get API response headers in Power Query

Get API response headers

SisterRay — Sun, 02 Jul 2023 08:37:32 GMT

Hi all,

I try to get list of headers, but there are only 5 of them in response. I need to get all. For example, "Link" should be used to retrieve the next page of results.

Anyone would have a tip to get all headers?

Power Query:

let
// Define the headers
headers = [
#"Content-Type" = "application/json",
#"X-Shopify-Access-Token" = "{password}"
],

// Original API request code generated by Power Query
source = Web.Contents("https://{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/2023-04/products.json?limit=250", [Headers=headers]),

// Retrieve response headers
responseHeaders = Value.Metadata(source),

// Retrieve response headers
Headers = responseHeaders[Headers]
in
Headers

Postman:

Power Query:

Many thanks in advance!

What's in the rest of the API response? If you need Link to control paging then the API will return that somewhere.

I've noticed that the link is only in Response header.

I want to make sure that I can't get all headers in Power Query.

The only way to get all headers (as opposed to a subset) is to use a custom connector.
