Failed to fetch data from Marklogic using Rest API
Hi Experts,
I am trying to pull data from Marklogic database in Power Bi desktop using REST API, but it is failing with below error:
"Web.content failed to get content, 500 internal server error"
I am trying same URL in browser and it is successfully returning result in 7 minutes.
Can anyone please advise what I am missing here?
Hey Anonymous ,
maybe using the Timeout can be helpful:
something = Web.Contents( URL, [Timeout=#duration(0,0,5,0)] )The above snippet asks Power BI not to timeout before 5 minutes, you might consider to switch 5 to 10.
Sometimes it's also helpful to turn off "Parallel loading of tables" in the options dialog:
File --> Options and settings --> Options --> Current file --> Data loading
Hopefully, this provides some new ideas to tackle your challenge.
Regards,
Tom
