Hi everyone,
I am accessing the API connection into a Dataverse table (authorisation done via an organisational account) by wrapping the Web API endpoint URL in a simple Web.Contents function. E.g.:
let
Source = Web.Contents(https://xxx-prod-xxx.api.crm11.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.2/audits)
in
Source
Unfortunately, the result is limited to 500 rows. I have tried the pagination and looping suggestions online, but none seem to provide a workable solution. The solutions fail at points I do not understand because I am not knowledgeable with JSON or running API calls in general.
For example:
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(https://xxx-prod-xxx.api.crm11.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.2/audits)),
BaseUrl = https://xxx-prod-xxx.api.crm11.dynamics.com,
EntitiesPerPage = 50,
GetJson = (Url) =>
let RawData = Web.Contents(Url),
Json = Json.Document(RawData)
in Json,
GetTotalEntities = () =>
let Json = GetJson(BaseUrl),
Total = Json[total]
in Total,
GetPage = (Index) =>
let Skip = "skip=" & Text.From(Index * EntitiesPerPage),
Url = BaseUrl & "&" & Skip,
Json = GetJson(Url),
Value = Json[data]
in Value,
GetUrl = (Index) =>
let Skip = "skip=" & Text.From(Index * EntitiesPerPage),
Url = BaseUrl & "&" & Skip
in Url,
EntityCount = List.Max({ EntitiesPerPage, GetTotalEntities() }),
PageCount = Number.RoundUp(EntityCount / EntitiesPerPage),
PageIndices = { 0 .. PageCount - 1 },
URLs = List.Transform(PageIndices, each GetUrl(_)),
Pages = List.Transform(PageIndices, each GetPage(_)),
Entities = List.Union(Pages),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Entities, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)
in
#"Converted to Table"
I am not equipped to know if the error is because the above M-Code is not workable for Dataverse or if I made a mistake somewhere.
Could anyone advise?
My base URL: https://xxx-prod-uksa.api.crm11.dynamics.com/
