Hi,

any ideas on the this DataSource error issue. is there something missing in the below query or more information required?

= Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://myjira.xxx.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=project in ('yyyy')&maxResults=5000"))

 

Thank you,

Deo Yadav

We have done it using REST API, lot of work.

Hi @DeoYadav ,

According to the error message, it seems that you don't have the proper permission to access to the url. Please update the codes as below and check if it can work...

= Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://myjira.xxx.com/rest/api/2/search?jql=project =yyyy and maxResults=5000"))

Best Regards

@Anonymous thank you again, this url is working in the browser after excluding the maxresults=5000 parameter from the url but not working in Power BI and it gives the same error. when I'm trying this url including maxresults=5000 parmameter, it's not working, says 

{"errorMessages":["Field 'maxresults' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it."],"errors":{}}  

 Apriciate if any other help!

 

Thank you

Deo
