InfluxDB via REST API JSON

[Anonymous]

Hi, I'm trying to create a report based on InfluxDB Time Series data.

I can get data by quering it via rest api which returns a JSON like this:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "statement_id": 0,
      "series": [
        {
          "name": "check_local_disk",
          "columns": [
            "time",
            "crit",
            "hostname",
            "max",
            "metric",
            "service",
            "unit",
            "value",
            "warn"
          ],
          "values": [
            [
              "2019-02-19T15:27:09Z",
              24979072409.600002,
              "myhost",
              499581448192,
              "c:_",
              "Disk C",
              "bytes",
              79175041024,
              49958144819.200005
            ],
            [
              "2019-02-19T15:32:12Z",
              24979072409.600002,
              "otherhost",
              499581448192,
              "c:_",
              "Disk C",
              "bytes",
              79163670528,
              49958144819.200005
            ]
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

My Problem is that I dont know how to transform the Column Fields as Column Names of a table and add the values as rows.

Has somebody an idea on how to archive this?

Thanks.

Hi there, 

I am trying to connect PowerBI with influx DB on M language editor. 

let
body = Text.ToBinary("
'from(bucket:""test2"")
|> range(start: -12h)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == ""temperature"")
|> aggregateWindow(every: 1h, fn: mean)'
"),
url = "http://20.xx.xx.xx:8086",
options = [
Headers = [
Authorization=" Token pcSpeRixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxpN1QQ2oQTuQ==",
Accept="application/json",
Content="application/json"],
RelativePath="api/v2/query",

Query=[org="xxxxx"],
Content=body
],
result = Web.Contents(url, options)

in
result

but it shows this error:

Web.Contents with the Content option is only supported when connecting anonymously.

Hi @Anonymous 

When you connect to InfluxD with Power BI Desktop, does it show JSON code as below in the Power BI Desktop?

Or conenct to this json file into Power BI Desktop?

In addition,

You could follow this article to use the OData REST API to access InfluxDB data.
