Hello cosminc

You should chose the web API , so that the key you are parsing on the URL is authentication you are going to use.

Let me know if it helps.

Hi Carlos

first of all sorry that i give you feedback so late, i was busy with other projects.

the API key wasn't put right by me, the support from the site gave me the right syntax.

now i want to take data - historical (last 2 weeks)+5 day forecast+current day

do you have any idea how to make import pictures - from what columns and how to to this in power bi

i want to obtain for last 2 weeks+current day+3 days forecast - a picture for each day with sun/rain like on tv:) and bellow to put daily temperature and precipitations (% form 100% chances) or maybe you have a suggestion

thanks
