Power BI API
Hi!
I am new to APIs. Is there a way to import all the API data (from Swagger UI) into PowerBI?
Thank you!

Do I have to do this individually for all the endpoints that I want to import?
Hi mkurup12
If your APIs' urls have an identical format, you can replace the identical part (usually the variables) with a parameter, then create a custom function to invoke it. You just need to change the parameter value. Or you can use a table to contain all parameter values and add a new column by invoking this function to bring all data into the table.
There are some great blogs about this.

I learnt a lot from above resources. Hope this helps.
