Getting data from trello

I am making a call to the Trello API, trying to get information contained in the Trello card,
I am mainly interested in knowing the date this card was born. I am making the call from Power Bi and
I have it connected through the web with a Json file, do not download the file, it is linked to Trello.
Do you know if there is the correct way to do this? I have tried in various ways and none have been able to obtain this information.
https://api.trello.com/1/members/me/cards?key=AppKey&token=AccessToken

 

This call is supposed to return the information of the cards that I have access to, but when I do the query it returns an empty array. Please if you know how to solve it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi @Anonymous 

Do you use this url: https://api.trello.com/1/members/me/cards?key=AppKey&token=AccessToken to connect to Trello API? 

Firsly, make sure Trello supports Rest API, then make sure the URL you use is correct and it is used to call the information of the cards. If all is correct, follow this blog: Using a REST API as a data source

It seems that you connect to this API successfully, and it will return Json. Some results of API will return Json File. You need to transform the Json file to Power BI Table. After table transformation, you will get the information of the cards.

For reference:

Getting data from Trello means dealing with nested JSON and sometimes paging through a lot of results. Make sure your API tokens are working and keep an eye on rate limits so you don’t get blocked. You’ll likely need to flatten and clean the data in Power Query or whichever tool you’re using. If you want to avoid writing code, tools like Skyvia can handle syncing Trello data to a database or BI tool, taking care of paging and authentication for you.

Estimados,

 

Estoy realizando una llamada a la API de Trello, intentando obtener información contenida en la tarjeta de Trello, principalmente me interesa conocer la fecha en que nació esta tarjeta.  La llamada la estoy realizando desde Power Bi y lo tengo conectado a través de la web con un archivo Json, no descargue el archivo, este está enlazado con Trello. Saben si existe la forma correcta de hacer esto? Lo he intentado de diversas formas y ninguna ha logrado obtener esta información.

 

https://api.trello.com/1/members/me/cards?key=AppKey&token=AccessToken

 

Esta llamada se supone debe devolver la información de las tarjetas a las que tengo acceso, pero cuando realizo la consulta devuelve una matriz vacía.  

 

Por favor si saben como resolver se los agradeceria mucho.
