Recursive execution of REST from Power BI table

I have a table with a column containing the services I need to call to retrieve some other data, which needs to be modified with other further steps once I can return the records from these services.

 

 

Meaning I need to execute these services and report the returned values in some other columns.

 

How can I do it?

 

Thanks
Simone

    Can you use below query in a blank query and paste any one of the URL and let me know what you see?

    let
    Source =Json.Document(Web.Contents("URL"))
    in
    Source

    Or use the below file and let me know.

    Hi sceccolini 

    Can you provide sample output you are looking for(Sample data inside one of the URL and what you need to pick and bring it to the new column)? it will be easy to understand the requirement.


    Thanks,

      Hi Naveen,

       

      thanks for the reply. This is an extract of the properties returned by each service in the column

       

       

      Of course, tthe REST invocations are always on the same service, which returnes the same properties; each service will just change the values of the returned properties. Among the above properties, we will need some of them, which will be configured as dedicated columns.

       

      Thanks
