Hi.
I have a Rest API that retreives a complex json. In order to flatten that. Do i have to store de json in a file first? or can i flateen that json from the Rest API directly?
Do you know if is it an examle? (i found videos of flatten complex json from a json file, but not directly from a Rest API)
Thank you

could you share an example of the json file and how the final result table should look like for it?
in general, yes. You can use Dataflow for a scenario like this - what have you tried so far? Do you get any errors when you expand the columns or try to navigate through your json?
I get this error trying test connection
This api works properly in a copy_data task
Is this for Mapping Dataflows inside of Azure Data Factory?
yes
