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:)
Curl
curl -X 'GET' \
'https://api.hevyapp.com/v1/workouts/events?page=1&pageSize=5&since=1970-01-01T00%3A00%3A00Z' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'api-key: 226b4150-f29f-4a5a-9438-ab91cc39e080'

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.
