Token Comma Expected error in JSON Web Query

[Anonymous]

I am trying to set up Web data connection using a search API for Jira. The URL works in browser, returning the results in JSON format. In Power BI I get a "token comma expecrted" error at one spot. I cannot figure out what is causing it. this is the full string:

https://xxx.xxx/rest/api/2/search?jql=issuetype%20in%20("CCS%20Incident"%2C%20"Bug")%20AND%20created...()

This is what I entered and the error I get:Token Comma Expected Error

This is the search string in plain text: issuetype in ("CCS Incident", "Bug") AND createdDate >= startOfYear().

What is Power BI seeing in the 'CCS' part of the string it doesn't like?

Hi @Anonymous 

The double quotes in the URL is causing the error.  They look like the start/end of strings to PQ.

You need to change the search string to this

(""CCS Incident"", ""Bug"")

So each double quote appears twice.
