Good afternoon everyone,

I would like to know if anyone has used the BPstat Data API from Banco de Portugal?

I appreciate any help you can give me

Hi @ngomes,

Perhaps you can try to use a web connector to get data from that API, it allows you to send tokens in the request header/body when working with 'anonymous' mode:

let
    authKey = "xxxxx",
    url = "https://bpstat.bportugal.pt/data/v1/",
    body = "xxxxxx",
    GetJson =
        Web.Contents(
            url,
            [
                Headers = [
                    #"Authorization" = authKey,
                    #"Content-Type" = "application/json"
                ],
                RelativePath = "xxxxxx/xxxxx",
                Content = Text.ToBinary(body)
            ]
        ),
    token = Json.Document(GetJson)[access_token],
    series_id = "xxxxxx",
    Result =
        Web.Contents(
            url,
            [
                Headers = [
                    #"Content-Type" = "application/json",
                    Authorization = "Bearer " + token
                ],
                RelativePath = "xxxxxx/xxxxx",
                Query = [
                    lang = "EN",
                    series_ids = series_id
                ]
            ]
        )
in
    Result

Hi @ngomes - Probably you can share more details. However, you can definitely try with the Web connector in Power BI Desktop. Just be careful of the privacy level you are selecting in Power BI Desktop to make sure it is similar to what your dataset will experience in Power BI Service. Here is a helpful link you can visit: Understand Power BI Desktop privacy levels - Power BI | Microsoft Learn.

looks like a standard anonymous API with load throttling.

Please provide a more detailed explanation of what you are aiming to achieve. What have you tried and where are you stuck?
