Thansk for your reply! I managed to get it to work as follows:
let
url = "https://data.springboardanalyser.com/token",
GetJson = Web.Contents(url,
[
Headers = [#"Accept"="application/json",
#"Content-Type"="application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8"],
Content = Text.ToBinary("username=MYUSERNAME&password=MYPASWORD&grant_type=password")
]
),
FormatAsJson = Json.Document(GetJson),
// Gets token from the Json response
AccessToken = FormatAsJson[access_token],
AccessTokenHeader = "bearer " & AccessToken,
GetJsonQuery = Web.Contents("https://data.springboardanalyser.com/api/footfalloutput/historic?StartDate=2019-01-01&endDate=2021-12-01",
[
Headers = [#"Authorization"=AccessTokenHeader]
]
),
FormatAsJsonQuery = Json.Document(GetJsonQuery),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(FormatAsJsonQuery, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)
