I have the following query that generates a token to be used for an API call, but I'm getting an error message stating: Undefined Variable: json
I'm not sure if I'm missing anything or doing anything wrong?
let
api_url = "https://someapi.com/api/",
token_path = "getAccessToken",
Token_Response = Json.Document(Web.Contents(api_url,
[
RelativePath = token_path,
Headers = [#"Content-Type"="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"],
Content=Text.ToBinary("username=clientid&password=password111")
]
)
),
token = Token_Response[token],
path = "getList",
endDate = "2022-04-25 00:00:00",
startDate= "2022-04-26 00:00:00",
data1= Json.Document(Web.Contents(api_url,
[
Headers = [#"Accept"="application/json"],
RelativePath = path,
Query = [end_date=endDate, start_date=startDate, api_token=token]
]
)
)
in
data1
Hi @PowerUser123 ,
Please make sure the token or data1 reponse of web.connect is json type.
