Connection to Intrado API?
Hello there!
I'm trying to stablish an API connection to Intrado's platform, with no luck until the moment.
I've tried Json.Document(Web.Contents"URL"... etc; also tried with Web source in power query, with no results.
I have all the credentials Intrado mentions in the documentation available online, and I know those are the right credentials, which makes me think probably I'm doing something wrong in my code.
Here the example in the documentation:
The format of the call is:
https://api.onlinexperiences.com/scripts/Server.nxp?LASCmd=AI:4;F:APIUTILS!50566
&APIUserAuthCode={YourAuthCode}
&APIUserCredentials={YourCredentials}
&ShowKey={ShowKey}
&FromDateTime={FromDate in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format}
&ToDateTime={ToDate in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format}
&ActivityTypeFilter={filter code list, in |OPTION|OPTION| format…}
&FilterUserType={0|1|-1 where 0 = attendees, 1 = exhibitors, -1 = both}
Any help will be highly appreciated.
So, the issue I was having was produced due to the syntaxis I was using for the call, that was not written in the way as the api accepts it.
The correct way would be something like:
let
Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://api.onlinexperiences.com/scripts/Server.nxp?LASCmd=AI:4;F:APIUTILS!50566&APIUserAuthCode=YourAuthCode&APIUserCredentials=YourCredentials&ShowKey=ShowkeyYouWantToCall"))
in
Source
Where of course you have to use your own auth code, credentials and showkey.

What have you tried so far? Are you aware of the Query section in Web.Contents ?
Hi Ibendlin,
Not really, I haven't took a look at that, because in desktop once I go to Get data -> Web I get the following:
"SQL failed. See your contact for more information."
Probably you have something in mind I could check?

That's a weird error message - are you sure this is coming from the Web.Contents step ?
Yes,
Take a look:In Changed Type step appears exactly the same.
