API query return a range of selection
- 5 years ago
Hi clubspec ,
You can try to create a custom function like this and use it in the number table column:
(Page as text) => let Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://csv.business.tomtom.com/extern?account=AAAc&username=XXX&password=PPP&apikey=818c28e9-09ec-4...objectno="&Page&"&outputformat=json")) in Sourcelet Source = List.Numbers(1,20,1), #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Converted to Table",{{"Column1", type text}}), Custom1 = Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Column1", each Text.PadStart(_, 3, "0"), type text}), #"Invoked Custom Function" = Table.AddColumn(Custom1, "function2", each function2([Column1])) in #"Invoked Custom Function"since it needs API key, currently it returns error

Thanks Pat but it returns error:
"DataFormat.Error: We found extra characters at the end of JSON input.
Details:
Value=,
Position=4"
If I query one objectno at a time, it will return a list, from there I convert the list to a table.
Thanks in advance
Try taking out the Json.Document wrapper and just do Web.Contents to see what you get, and confirm/see the structure of the JSON. Share screen shots of what you get back (if you can), if the issue is not obvious to you.
