Can't save dataflow "One or more tables references a dynamic data source."

Hi Everyone,
 
I can't able to save it, getting an error. please help me with this.
 
let
  Source = List.Generate( () =>

        [ URL = "https://LPF.api.goflow.com/v1/orders?filters[date:gte]=2023-03-27T00:00:00Z" , Result = Json.Document(Web.Contents(URL,[Headers=[Authorization="Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]])) ],

        each [URL] <> null,

        each [ URL = [Result][next] , Result = Json.Document(Web.Contents([URL],[Headers=[Authorization="Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]])) ]

    ),
  #"Convert to table" = Table.FromValue(Source),
  #"Expanded Value" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Convert to table", "Value", {"URL"}, {"URL"})
in
  #"Expanded Value"
 
 
I also tried this M query, but I am also getting an error "Expression.Error: We cannot convert a value of type Binary to type Text."
 
let
  Source = List.Generate( () =>

        [ URL = Web.Contents(
        [
                RelativePath= "v1/",
                Query=[
                        orders= "filters[date:gte]=2023-03-27T00:00:00Z"
                ]
        ]

) , Result = Json.Document(Web.Contents(URL,[Headers=[Authorization="Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]])) ],

        each [URL] <> null,

        each [ URL = [Result][next] , Result = Json.Document(Web.Contents([URL],[Headers=[Authorization="Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]])) ]

    ),
  #"Convert to table" = Table.FromValue(Source),
  #"Expanded Value" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Convert to table", "Value", {"URL"}, {"URL"}),

 Source = List.Generate( () =>

        URL = Web.Contents(
        "https://LPF.api.goflow.com/",
        [
                RelativePath= "v1/orders",
                Query=[
                        #"filters[date:gte]"="2023-03-27T00:00:00Z"
                ]
        ]
    ),
...

 

 

Thank you,

 

I tried this M query:

 

let
    Source = List.Generate( () =>

        [ URL = Web.Contents(
        [
                RelativePath= "v1/orders",
                Query=[
                        #"filters[date:gte]"="2023-03-27T00:00:00Z"
                ]
        ]
    ) , Result = Json.Document(Web.Contents(URL,[Headers=[Authorization="Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]])) ],

        each [URL] <> null,

        each [ URL = [Result][next] , Result = Json.Document(Web.Contents([URL],[Headers=[Authorization="Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]])) ]

    )
   
in
   Source
 
getting an error "Expression.Error: We cannot convert a value of type Binary to type Text."

Hi @MithSingh ,
try removing the square brackets around URL in the last step like so:

 

let
    Source = List.Generate(
        () => [
            URL = Web.Contents(
                "https://LPF.api.goflow.com/", 
                [RelativePath = "v1/orders", Query = [#"filters[date:gte]" = "2023-03-27T00:00:00Z"]]
            ), 
            Result = Json.Document(Web.Contents(URL, [Headers = [Authorization = "Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]]))
        ], 
        each [URL] <> null, 
        each [
            URL    = [Result][next], 
            Result = Json.Document(Web.Contents(URL, [Headers = [Authorization = "Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]]))
        ]
    )
in
    Source
