Get data from Web with date in the link

Hello Community.

 

I have a woocommerce website and an Export module installed on the site.

the export module provides 3 links. The first triggers the report creation. The second returns the status...proccessing...complete and the 3rd that downloads the file (Excel).

 

I want to use Power Query to do the job. I.e. trigger, wait, when status is complete to download the file and bring it for transformation.

 

Can you help me on how to do that So Far I see only Get Data -> From Web but only allows one link to be inserted....

    Hi Anonymous 

    Based on my knowledge for Power BI, i'm afraid these requirements are unable with Power BI.

      Hi Anonymous,

      it won't be simple but I'm sure it is possible. You can't just click it all in the UI but you have to write your PowerQuery query which does the job for you. What you need is the following function: Invoke.After. You use this function for calling your web requests after a defined amount of time.

    Thanks....it seems that I have to try the Invoke.After and see if I can implement it!
