Hi community,
I've been searching and trying different ways to connect with a website that manages our marketplaces without success.
I'm sure it's probably something "basic" that I'm missing but since I have no experience with APIs and connecting to websites I have no idea of what could be.
The website that I'm trying to connect to is channeladvisor.com and I've created a developer account which provides me a key:
https://developer.channeladvisor.com/the-developer-console
I want to only view our orders in Power BI so I'm assuming that I should connect to this link:
https://api.channeladvisor.com/v1/orders according to the instructions here https://developer.channeladvisor.com/working-with-orders
I've written blank queries such as:
let
apiUrl = "https://api.channeladvisor.com/v1/Orders",
options = [Headers =[#"Subscription-Key"="XXXXXXXX "]],
result = Web.Contents(apiUrl , options)
in
result
but they give me no results, I can only see the query and no tables
Also I tried to connect via WEB and added the API key but I keep getting that " A web API key can only be specified when a web API key name is provided"
Does anyone have any idea of what I could be doing wrong?
Thank you so much in advance!
Hi @marianamarques,
Were you able to connect to the API source without specifying orders view? I mean the basic API address.
Would you please try this, then supply an “Api Key” via the credential UI?
Web.Contents(URL, [ApiKeyName="mykey"])
Regards,
Yuliana Gu
