how to fully load data from limited HTTP API?
please, I still need help.
I tried to modify the script from another post, but then Power BI freezes for a second and then returns and error.
error: An error occured when deserializing the results. try to repeat the operation.
below is the full script that I would like someone to review and correct.
in bold, commands that I don´t understand, but I am using anyway because I just adapted from another post, and I think this is the way to get my solution.
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://url.com/token?limit=100&offset=0&date_range=201001010000:201912310000")),
Pagination = List.Skip(List.Generate( () => [offsett = "0"], // Start Value
each Source[offset] <> Source[next_offset], // Condition under which the next execution will happen
each [ WebCall = "https://url.com/token?limit=100&offset="&[offsett]&"date_range=201001010000:201912310000", // retrieve results per call
offsett = if WebCall[next_offset] >= WebCall[offset] then WebCall[next_offset] else WebCall[next_offset] ],// determine the offset for the next execution
each [Value]),1) // Select just the Record of the last step from your query
in
Pagination
I tried to wrap the webcall under Json.Document(Web.Contents()), but this also doesn´t work.
for information, the first line (Source) returns this, which is ok.
i need to use and compare the values from offset and next_offset.
the from_cache value is not good for this script, because it returns false or true even if I still have more data to read.

Do you know what the format is of the results (XML, JSON, etc)? Is your token something that you can change so that you can share it and the API url with us? Or can you point to another API that is public that has a similar structure of returned results?
