Hi, I want to access the TomTom API and analyze different aspects of it. Could you provide a way to connect the TomTom API to Power BI to view the data in table form and whole maps from tomtom api ? thanks

Hi @wasiqkhan ,
Based on the information you provided, you can follow the steps below:
To view TomTom API data in tabular form in Power BI, you can use the Get Data feature to connect to the API through a Web data source.
1. In Power BI Desktop, connect to the Web data source.
For details, see the following link:
Connect to a webpage from Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
2. In the From Web dialogue box, enter the URL of the TomTom API endpoint to which you want to connect.
3. Once connected, you can select the data you are interested in importing.
Power BI does not inherently support displaying live maps directly from the TomTom API.
If you want to display specific geographic areas of TomTom data, you can use the ShapeMap visual object in conjunction with a TopoJSON file. For details, see the following link:
Use Shape maps in Power BI Desktop (Preview) - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
