So while I am trying to follow a guide to pull my data from an API into a table I was folowing this guide to help me paginate: Power BI/Power Query: API Response Pagination Part 1 - Paginate by Item Count I keep running acros the error in my screen shot. I am just starting out in Power Query but I can understand after fumblnig around a bit, but pagination for the API has been slightly dificult.
I've used several different pagination methods, and I know I can fix part of this by chaning the expression pageRange = {1..30} but this is a living data set so I am trying to get it incremented on refresh.
This is the result I am expecting:
This is the link to the api documentation: FreshcallerAPI. I don't have any problems pulling the actual data, just paginating it is proving elusive to me. Each time a find a new method to try I get halfway to it working but ultimately it does not function.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Please see this video for another way to pull in paginated API data.

Thank you, this helped me get the last piece of the puzzle I was missing. Using your method I did have to make an alteration to my Power BI privacy settings but it worked like a charm. This is going to save me so much time now that I can stop doing weekly CSV dumps.
