I'm using the PowerQuery Extension API (NOT Power BI Desktop) and I have the following function:
shared PQDeiworld.Contents = (url as text, DEINSP as text) =>
let
DEIPass = Extension.CurrentCredential()[Key],
query = [
DEINSP = DEINSP,
FlagIdiomas = 1,
DEIPass = DEIPass
],
answer = Text.FromBinary(Web.Contents(url, [Query = query]))
in
answer;The response to this from the (internal) web server is a slightly malformed XML Document, that I know how to clean up in PBI Dekstop.
When I try to run the extension in Visual Studio, I get the following response:
Unexpected Exception
Details:
[DataFormat.Error] We found extra characters at the end of the JSON Input
I'm not telling Web.Contents to parse JSON, I want to get the binary out, and parse it myself - how do I stop Web.Contents from doing so?
