Calling Paginated API with an "endCursor" variable that needs to be passed to subsequent calls

[Anonymous]

Hey there. 

I'm looking for help for a bit of a complicated problem. 

I have a connection to a REST API that returns a pagination variable to send on subsequent API requests to retrieve the next page. 

I am trying to loop through the pages and get all the data into PBI desktop but am having trouble doing so with this endCursor variable.

Here's an example response for a call with an "endCursor"(the variable in question) and a "hasNextPage":

"pagination": {

        "endCursor": "(random variable is here)",

        "hasNextPage": true

    }

I'm not sure how I would be able to pass the variable into the "RelativePath" and have it loop through all the data.

Has anyone done this successfully?

HI @Anonymous,

Perhaps you can take a look at the 'GenerateByPage' helper function to create a custom function to iterator and expand records based on the page number:
