Hand-authored queries issue when using dynamic sources.

Hello everyone,

 

I came across this https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2018/12/10/credentials-data-privacy-settings-and-data-sources-in-power-... when I was searching for solution to this issue. Tried a lot but couldn't solve it. So here I am 🙂

 

Chris modified his code from 

 

let
Source =
Json.Document(
Web.Contents(
"https://data.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_search?q=cows"
)
),
result = Source[result],
results = result[results],
results1 = results{0},
id = results1[id],
output =
Json.Document(
Web.Contents(
"https://data.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_show?id=" & id
)
)
in
output

 

 

to:

 

let
Source =
Json.Document(
Web.Contents(
"https://data.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_search?q=cows"
)
),
result = Source[result],
results = result[results],
results1 = results{0},
id = results1[id],
output =
Json.Document(
Web.Contents(
"https://data.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_show",
[Query=[#"id"=id]]
)
)
in
output

 

 

How would you do with this code snippet if using similiar solution?

 

(GROUPS as text)=>
let
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://clock.service-now.com/api/now/table/sys_user_group/"&GROUPS&" -H Authorization: Bearer &""GetAccesstoken()""")),
    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromRecords({Source}),
    #"Expanded result" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "result", {"name"}, {"name"})
in
    #"Expanded result"

 

 

Have a great day,

LoScalzo

RelativePath, not Query.

Hello Syndicate_Admin, 

 

Thank you for the link but I cannot use Query it will create a question mark. 

I need URL + Variable like this (www.microsoft.com/Variable with static url in Web.Content and then use something below to link it.

Please read the documentation.  There are examples of how to use RelativePath and how to specify Headers.
