Bulk Import for Web Services

Dear community,

 

I am usually importing data into Power BI by using a Web Service. So I navigate to "Get Data" --> "Web", enter a URL and retrieve the data. However, I have to do this for several URLs, so I wonder whether there's the possibility of a "bulk import". What I am aiming at is to provide a list of URLs and the system imports them one after another without me interacting.

 

Does anyone know whether (and how...) this is possible? Thanks in advance!

 

Best regards

  • Yes, you can do that in Power Query.  Create a table that has all the URLs, and then add a custom column with 

     

    Web.Contents([URL])

     

    That will load the data for each row.  Then you can use the combine button as needed.
