Below is the source code i am using:
let AnalyticsQuery = let Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.applicationinsights.io/v1/apps/22128845-03d6-4b8a-ba5e-71b1c5ed509e/query", [Query=[#"query"="pageViews | where timestamp >= datetime(2018-02-07T14:59:59.999Z) and timestamp < datetime(2018-02-14T15:00:00.001Z) | where (itemType == 'pageView' and (timestamp >= datetime(2018-02-07T15:00:00.000Z) and timestamp <= datetime(2018-02-14T15:00:00.000Z))) | top 1000 by timestamp desc ",#"x-ms-app"="AAPBI",#"prefer"="ai.response-thinning=true"],Timeout=#duration(1,0,4,0)])), TypeMap = #table( { "AnalyticsTypes", "Type" }, { { "string", Text.Type }, { "int", Int32.Type }, { "long", Int64.Type }, { "real", Double.Type }, { "timespan", Duration.Type }, { "datetime", DateTimeZone.Type }, { "bool", Logical.Type }, { "guid", Text.Type }, { "dynamic", Text.Type } }), DataTable = Source[tables]{0}, Columns = Table.FromRecords(DataTable[columns]), ColumnsWithType = Table.Join(Columns, {"type"}, TypeMap , {"AnalyticsTypes"}), Rows = Table.FromRows(DataTable[rows], Columns[name]), Table = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Rows, Table.ToList(ColumnsWithType, (c) => { c{0}, c{3}})) in Table in AnalyticsQuery
Can anyone please help what is wrong here? How we can get the data refreshed?
Any help with this is really appreciated!
Thanks,
Did you figure it out? I am getting the same error...
@sudhak Are you using a gateway? I don't recall when the change was implemented, but it was awhile ago that you need a gateway when using web.contents i believe.
