Get data from URL retrieved from API

Hey all. I have this table extracting data from API and it was all working fine. Now some changes were made to an API and now instead of getting records I get URL to a json which holds the data. I get new URL each time I call the initial endpoint. My question is how to get the data 🙂 

 

This is how my API call output looks like now, this link hold the data, just not sure how to get there ? GetURL.JPG

If you take a look at advanced editor, the last step should be something like 

in

#"GetURL"

or something like that 

 

Just call another let function on the editor and parse the GetURL into Web.Contents()

 

If you're okay with it, show me the advanced editor steps but put dummy password or authentication codes to maintain security.

call the fileURL again with Web.Contents() and parse the received JSON again.
