We cannot convert the value "[Binary]" to type Text

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to get data from hubspot API to powerbi using a POST method. I'm using this code to get the data but for some reason i'm receiving this error: 

 

We cannot convert the value "[Binary]" to type Text

 

Details:
Value=[Binary]
Type=[Type]

 

let
data = "{'properties': [
'hs_survey_type'
],
'filterGroups':[{

'filters':[
{
'propertyName':'hs_createdate',
'operator':'BETWEEN',
'highValue': '1705552000000',
'value':'1704064000000'
},
{
'propertyName':'hs_survey_type',
'operator':'EQ',
'value':'CSAT'
}

]
}
]
}",
baseuri = "https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/feedback_submissions/search",
initReq = Json.Document(Web.Contents(baseuri, [Headers = [Authorization="Bearer HERE_THE_TOKEN", #"Content-Type"="application/json", Content= Json.FromValue(data)]])),

initData = initReq[results]

in
initData

 

What might i am doing wrong?

Thanks everyone, I solved it by myself. Here you can check the final solution:

 

let
data = "{""properties"":[""hs_survey_type""],""filterGroups"":[{""filters"":[{""propertyName"":""hs_createdate"",""operator"":""BETWEEN"",""highValue"":""1705552000000"",""value"":""1704064000000""},{""propertyName"":""hs_survey_type"",""operator"":""EQ"",""value"":""CSAT""}]}]}",
baseuri = "https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/feedback_submissions/search",
initReq = Json.Document(Web.Contents(baseuri, [
Headers = [
Authorization="Bearer HERE_THE_TOKEN",
#"Content-Type"="application/json"
],
Content=Text.ToBinary(data)
])),
initData = initReq[results]
in
initData

 

First I moved 'Content' into web.contents parameters, and also I reformated 'data' from a text o a binary using Text.ToBinary

Hello @jumercor,

 

Can you please try this:

let
    data = "{'properties': [
    'hs_survey_type'
    ],
    'filterGroups':[{
    'filters':[
    {
        'propertyName':'hs_createdate',
        'operator':'BETWEEN',
        'highValue': '1705552000000',
        'value':'1704064000000'
    },
    {
        'propertyName':'hs_survey_type',
        'operator':'EQ',
        'value':'CSAT'
    }
    ]
    }
    ]}",
    baseuri = "https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/feedback_submissions/search",
    
    content = Json.FromValue(Text.FromBinary(data)),
    headers = [
        Authorization="Bearer HERE_THE_TOKEN",
        #"Content-Type"="application/json"
    ],
    response = Web.Contents(baseuri, [
        Content=content,
        Headers=headers,
        Method="POST"
    ]),
    
    responseText = Text.FromBinary(response),
    
    initReq = Json.Document(responseText),
    initData = initReq[results]
in
    initData

Thanks, but I'm receiving -> Expression.Error: "Method" is not a valid option for Web.Contents. Valid options:

ApiKeyName, Content, ExcludedFromCacheKey, Headers, IsRetry, ManualStatusHandling, Query, RelativePath, Timeout

 

You don't need to specify Method. It is sufficient to provide a content payload, that will switch We.Contents from GET to POST automatically.
