    okay maybe you will need to pass the token as a function then , try to created the following function and query 

     

     open blank query and copy past , name the function as GetTokenNew 

     

    () as text =>
    let
        // -----------------------------
        // ECI OAuth Token Request
        // -----------------------------
        client_id     = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
        client_secret = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
    
        token_url = "https://api-user.integrations.ecimanufacturing.com/oauth2/api-user/token",
    
        tokenBody =
            "grant_type=client_credentials" &
            "&scope=openid" &
            "&client_id=" & client_id &
            "&client_secret=" & client_secret,
    
        tokenResponse =
            Json.Document(
                Web.Contents(
                    token_url,
                    [
                        Headers = [
                            #"Content-Type" = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
                            Accept = "application/json"
                        ],
                        Content = Text.ToBinary(tokenBody)
                    ]
                )
            ),
    
        // Extract raw token
        access_token = tokenResponse[access_token],
    
        // Return as "Bearer xxxx"
        BearerToken = "Bearer " & access_token
    in
        BearerToken
    

    create another query and past 

    let
        // Call token function
        BearerToken = GetTokenNew(),
    
        api_url = "https://api-jb2.integrations.ecimanufacturing.com/api/v1/job-materials",
    
        apiResponse =
            Json.Document(
                Web.Contents(
                    api_url,
                    [
                        Headers = [
                            Authorization = BearerToken,
                            Accept = "application/json"
                        ]
                    ]
                )
            ),
    
        // Convert list/record into table
        AsList =
            if apiResponse is list then
                apiResponse
            else if apiResponse is record and Record.HasFields(apiResponse, "data") then
                apiResponse[data]
            else
                {},
    
        TableOut =
            if List.Count(AsList) > 0 then
                let
                    tbl = Table.FromList(AsList, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
                    firstRecord = tbl{0}[Column1],
                    expanded = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(tbl, "Column1", Record.FieldNames(firstRecord))
                in
                    expanded
            else
                #table({}, {})
    in
        TableOut
    

     

    but it's better if you change the get-schedule url(in the first working query) and get the job-materials value in one query first , then try above method

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    Can you try this code and see if it returns a value to pages step ? 

    let

        client_secret = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
