Hi,

 

does the web connector accept 302 redirect responses from an web api?

 

We have an api that executes a query in AWS and saves the results to S3.  So we want to call teh api in the webconnector but then have it redirect to pick up the results from the S3 bucket.

 

Just wondering if that's possiblle at all.

 

Thanks

    The Power Query Web.Contents function doesn't support 302 redirect responses from an web api. 

     

    However, you should be able the get the result from web api (I assume it returns your a JSON), then save it into Power BI. Please refer to article below for similar scenario:
