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....

    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 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

Simone

I have used a sample API to create a POC(This has JSON in multiple rows, so the end table will expand, It might not be the case with you).

If the first step works fine(JSON expansion), then the remaining can be tweaked depending on your format.

Attached file here has the POC.


If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the others find it more quickly. Appreciate you kudos!!
