WebSite URL API

[ringovski]

Hi All,

There is a open source web site https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/victorian-coronavirus-data/resource/bc71e010-253a-482a-bdbc... that I need PBI to connect to and download the data. It has a embedded data table.

I can't use the google docs option so I have tried using get data Website, ODATA and the API option and I have been unable to get the data, PBI says the URL invalid.

So I am hoping someone who is good with HTML or API can assist me.

Thanks

Hi @ringovski ,

Please refer to:

let
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/api/3/action/datastore_search?resource_id=bc71e010-253a-482a-bdbc-d65d1befe526")),
    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromRecords({Source}),
    #"Expanded result" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "result", {"include_total", "limit", "records_format", "resource_id", "total_estimation_threshold", "records", "fields", "_links", "total", "total_was_estimated"}, {"result.include_total", "result.limit", "result.records_format", "result.resource_id", "result.total_estimation_threshold", "result.records", "result.fields", "result._links", "result.total", "result.total_was_estimated"}),
    #"Expanded result._links" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded result", "result._links", {"start", "next"}, {"result._links.start", "result._links.next"}),
    #"Expanded result.records" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Expanded result._links", "result.records"),
    #"Expanded result.records1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded result.records", "result.records", {"_id", "LGA", "lga_pid", "population", "active", "cases", "rate", "new", "band", "LGADisplay", "data_date", "file_processed_date"}, {"result.records._id", "result.records.LGA", "result.records.lga_pid", "result.records.population", "result.records.active", "result.records.cases", "result.records.rate", "result.records.new", "result.records.band", "result.records.LGADisplay", "result.records.data_date", "result.records.file_processed_date"}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded result.records1",{"help", "success", "result.include_total", "result.limit", "result.records_format", "result.resource_id", "result.total_estimation_threshold", "result.fields", "result._links.start", "result._links.next", "result.total", "result.total_was_estimated"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"
