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?

This api works properly in a copy_data task

Is this for Mapping Dataflows inside of Azure Data Factory?
