Connect to API via Power Query troubleshot

Hello guys,

I'm having a little troble connecting to the Hevy app API via Power Query.

I've read the documentation they provide and watched other peoples videos and examples but so far I haven't had any luck.

I also have available the curl in the below link:

Here the documentation: https://api.hevyapp.com/docs/  I would like to use the table "/v1/workouts/events"

 

Thank you very much!

 

PS: More info just in case (I should be able to connect using only the information below:)

        Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.hevyapp.com", [RelativePath="v1/workouts",Query=[page="1",pageSize="5"],Headers=[accept="application/json", #"api-key"="do not share on the interwebs"]])),
        #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source[workouts], Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
        #"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"id", "title", "description", "start_time", "end_time", "updated_at", "created_at", "exercises"}),
        #"Expanded exercises" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Expanded Column1", "exercises"),
        #"Expanded exercises1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded exercises", "exercises", {"index", "title", "notes", "exercise_template_id", "superset_id", "sets"}, {"index", "title.1", "notes", "exercise_template_id", "superset_id", "sets"}),

    Hi APIRT ,

     

    Here I agree with lbendlin, I can connect to the REST API with his code.
    According to your request url, you just need to add a since parameter in Query.

    let
        Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.hevyapp.com", [RelativePath="v1/workouts",Query=[page="1",pageSize="5",since="1970-01-01T00:00:00Z"],Headers=[accept="application/json", #"api-key"="..."]])),
        #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source[workouts], Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
        #"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"id", "title", "description", "start_time", "end_time", "updated_at", "created_at", "exercises"}),
        #"Expanded exercises" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Expanded Column1", "exercises"),
        #"Expanded exercises1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded exercises", "exercises", {"index", "title", "notes", "exercise_template_id", "superset_id", "sets"}, {"index", "title.1", "notes", "exercise_template_id", "superset_id", "sets"}),
        #"Expanded sets" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Expanded exercises1", "sets"),
        #"Expanded sets1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded sets", "sets", {"index", "set_type", "weight_kg", "reps", "distance_meters", "duration_seconds", "rpe"}, {"index.1", "set_type", "weight_kg", "reps", "distance_meters", "duration_seconds", "rpe"})
    in
        #"Expanded sets1"

    It works well in my test as well.

      Thanks for the response but it's not working. THe data is associated to a user and an account.

      That's why the API
