I hope that someone can help me.
I have an Excel sheet with a list of names golf players and their license numbers.
There's a website where I can get their game data but I have to search by license number and by game, I cannot do a query that gives me all the players data and all the games in just one go.
So. basically, I would have to create a query for each player and for each game to be able to show their results in a table.
Is there anyway that I can automate this in Power Query?
As an example
I have a list like this
Name | Licencse |
Albert | XS0001 |
Mary | XH0035 |
James | XJ9882 |
And then, I have an url that goes like this
https://www.golfpage.com/search/license=XS001&game=23453
This webpage will provide the data for that particular game (game id 23453) in JSON format.
The result would be somethin like
{"code":0,"data":{"docs":[{"clubCode":"X","federatedCode":"123333","license":"XS0001","firstName":"ALBERT","surname":"SMTIH","fullName":"ALBERT SMITH","gender":"M","hcpExact":17.2,"private":{},"extra":{"photo":null,"email":"a*******@*****.com"},"__licenseInUse":false,"__isFederatedActive":true,"__isValidForActionPlay":true,"_id":"4hf3457e7433a4"}],"totalDocs":1,"offset":0,"limit":50,"totalPages":1,"page":1,"pagingCounter":1,"hasPrevPage":false,"hasNextPage":false,"prevPage":null,"nextPage":null}}
I do have to transform the data to get to the value I want and crear a table like this
Name | Licencse | HPC |
Albert | XS0001 | 17,2 |
Mary | XH0035 | 22,6 |
James | XJ9882 | 15,9 |
Is there anyway that I can do what I want

@parry2k has a good answer related to this: Calling multiple APIs based on a column
Here's a simplified example I've created using a dummy API service:
let
Source = #table({"ID"}, {{1}, {3}, {6}}),
BaseURL = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/comments?postId=",
ID_Result = Table.AddColumn(
Source,
"API_Result",
each Json.Document(Web.Contents(BaseURL & Number.ToText([ID]))),
type list
),
Extract_Field = Table.AddColumn(
ID_Result,
"FirstEmail",
each List.First([API_Result])[email],
type text
)
in
Extract_Field

I have to say that it has been a bit challenging because, unlike your example, my JSON was a bit more complicated than your example, and it had to be expanded three times.
I finally got it to work (with the help of the Power Query interface in the end) and your code was a great guideline to achieve what I needed.
Thank you
I will try to adapt your code to what I need. It looks like it is what I'm asking for.
I'll see if I can make it work because I'm quite new at this.
Thank you.
