I'm trying to set up an API (bit of a newbie here with API on Power BI) to go to the ISBN website and retrieve data against a column of ISBN numbers in a table in Power BI.
Is this possible.? Easy to set up.?
Can i retrieve data based on ISBN numbers i hold in a table.?
I have Power BI dekstop version and admin rights...
Any pointers / links or guidance would be hugely appreciated 🙂
@Anonymous @ISBnLight
which of the many ISBN search services are you planning to use? What's the expected frequency of your requests?
let
#"HTML Code" = Web.BrowserContents("https://isbnsearch.org/isbn/9781324003991"),
#"Imported Text" = Lines.FromText(#"HTML Code"),
#"Removed Top Items" = List.Skip(#"Imported Text",34),
#"Kept First Items" = List.FirstN(#"Removed Top Items",7)
in
#"Kept First Items"
