vwiles84 this M code will create start and end date range and will update daily, just add another column and make api call from the WebURL column and you are good to go.
let
MaxDays = 90,
EndDate = Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),
StartDate = Date.AddDays(Date.From(EndDate),1-MaxDays),
Source = #table({"StartDate","EndDate"} ,{{StartDate,EndDate}}),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"StartDate", type datetime}, {"EndDate", type datetime}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "WebURL", each "https://website/order_items?time_start=" &
DateTime.ToText([StartDate],"yyyy-MM-dd")&"&time_end="&DateTime.ToText([EndDate], "yyyy-MM-dd"), type text),
#"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "WebData", each Web.Contents([WebURL]))
in
#"Added Custom1"Thank you! I will try that and see how it works!
