Loop Through Several Values, Change API Call URL and Insert Into Table

[bartus1]

Hi,

Have seen this thread, but I am still unclear what to do...

1.  API call - gets IDs wchih are stored in table1 - works great.  Table is neat and ready to go.

2.  Need to make another API call FOR EACH ID stored previously (table1), which will return items for each ID.

Eventually, will do 3rd call to get all detaisl for each item ID from #2.

Thanks.

Hi @bartus1,

Have you managed to create a function like below.

let functionName = (param1 as datatype) =>
let
 Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("URL" & param1 & "/summary").
in
 Source
in functionName

If yes, then what you need to do next is adding a custom column in table1 that calls/invokes the function above. You should be able to find the detailed steps in following two articles.
