So I have a couple functions that I'm trying to setup a delay using Function.InvokeAfter. I think I'm doing something wrong as I'm still hitting rate limits, and using Fiddler, I can see that there isn't a delay being implemented.
First Function PaginateAPI
(endpoint as text) =>
let
HasContToken = (responseHeaders) as logical => if (Record.HasFields(responseHeaders, {"next_page"})) then
true
else
false,
Pages = List.Generate(() =>
GetBase(endpoint, "1"),
each HasContToken(Value.Metadata(_)),
each try GetBase(
endpoint,
Text.Split(Text.Split(Value.Metadata(_)[next_page], "?page="){1}, "&"){0}
)
otherwise null
),
List = List.Combine(Pages),
Table = Table.FromList(List, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error)
in
Table
GetBase
let
Source = (endpoint as text, page as text) =>
let
url = "https://someapi.com/",
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url,
[
Headers = [
#"Accept"="application/json",
#"api-code"="SomeString",
#"Authorization"="Bearer " & APIKey
],
RelativePath = endpoint,
Query = [
page=page
]
]
)),
next_page = Source[meta][pagination][links][next],
final = Source[data] meta [ next_page = next_page ]
in
final
in
Source
I invoke the first Function PaginateAPI as such:
= Function.InvokeAfter(()=>PaginateAPI("sales"), #duration(0,0,0,5))
I'm thinking this is all I need to do to create the delay, but it seems like the delay isn't being implemented. Do I also need to add the Function.InvokeAfter somewhere in the functions as well?
