    Hi Alina12 ,

     

    Hope all is going well.

     

    Please follow these steps:

     

    1. The error you are encountering in the function is due to attempting to concatenate a binary () with a string. Since is used with , it is treated as a binary.

     

    You should modify your approach to use and options within for pagination as well.GetJiraIDCountBaseUrlBaseUrlWeb.ContentsRelativePathQueryWeb.Contents

     

    2. Modify the GetPage function:

    GetPage = (Index) =>
    let
        Skip = Text.From(Index * JiraIDPerPage),
        Top = Text.From(JiraIDPerPage),
        PageData = Web.Contents(
            https://XXX.XXX.net/jira/rest/api,
            [
                RelativePath="2/search",
                Query=
                [
                    jql="filter=525545",
                    startAt=Skip,
                    maxResults=Top,
                    fields="issuetype,key,summary,customfield_10401,labels,customfield_10000,status,resolution,customfield_11200"
                ],
                Headers=[Authorization="Bearer XXX"]
            ]
        ),
        Json = Json.Document(PageData),
        Value = Json[#"issues"]
    in Value,

     

    If you have other questions, please contact me at any time.

UPDATE

I have managed to get the code to work with Web.Contents, Relative Path and Query. The problem now is that a) I only get the first 1000 hits instead of approx. 5,500 hits (although JiraIDCount shows the correct number of total hits) and b) it still shows me a dynamic data source and the data refresh is not possible.

So it seems that my problem might be with the pagination, because the whole www says that the dynamic data refresh should work with Web.Contents, Relative Path and Query. Can anyone help me?

let 
    BaseUrl = 
    Web.Contents(
        "https://XXX.XXX.net/jira/rest/api",
        [
            RelativePath="2/search",
            Query=
            [
                jql="filter=525545",
                maxResults="1000",
                fields="issuetype,key,summary,customfield_10401,labels,customfield_10000,status,resolution,customfield_11200"
            ],
            Headers=
            [
                Authorization="Bearer XXX"
            ]
        ]
        
    )  ,

    JiraIDPerPage = 1000,

    GetJson = (Url) =>
        let 
            RawData = BaseUrl,
            Json    = Json.Document(RawData)
        in  Json,

    GetJiraIDCount = () =>
        let Url   = BaseUrl,
            Json  = GetJson(Url),
            Count = Json[#"total"]
        in  Count,

    GetPage = (Index) =>
        let Skip  = "&startAt=" & Text.From(Index * JiraIDPerPage),
            Top   = "&maxResults=" & Text.From(JiraIDPerPage),
            Url   = Text.From(BaseUrl) & Skip & Top,
            Json  = GetJson(Url),
            Value = Json[#"issues"]
        in  Value,

    JiraIDCount = List.Max({ JiraIDPerPage, GetJiraIDCount() }),

    PageCount   = Number.RoundUp(JiraIDCount / JiraIDPerPage),

    PageIndices = { 0 .. PageCount - 1 },

    Pages       = List.Transform(PageIndices, each GetPage(_)),

    JiraID    = List.Union(Pages),

    Table       = Table.FromList(JiraID, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
