How to connect Azure DevOps REST API in to power bi

‎01-09-2020 08:29 AM

Hi,

I am new to this power bi. Can someone please tell me how to connect the Azure Devops REST API into the power bi.

The API I am trying to connect is "https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/****/_apis/release/definitions?api-version=5.1".

 

Thanks & Regards,

Sujeesh

Oh, that isn't zip I think. It should be JSON. Just apply the line I gave in the previous post of the zip function. The zip function is useful if you want to download a bunch of files out of git. I did this myself once to do a git blame summary

 

This is what your query should look like:

 

 

let
    Source = VSTS.Contents("https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/fe-tfs/_apis/release/definitions?api-version=5.1"),
    #"Imported JSON" = Table.FromRecords(Json.Document(Source,65001)[value])
in
    #"Imported JSON"

Hi Sujeesh,

I am also facing a similar kind of issue. I believe it's a syntax error. 

 

Expression.syntaxError: Token Eof expected

 

= VSTS.Contents("https://dev.azure.com/****/*****/***** Pod/_apis/work/teamsettings/iterations/*******/capacities?api-version=6.0"),
#"Import Json" = Table.FromRecords(Json.Document(Source,65001)[value])
In
#"Import Json"

Thank you for clarifying my doubts. It worked

I got the result as a JSON file. Can you tell me how to convert this JSON file as a table so that I can use this data in my chart

Add this line as your next step:

= Table.FromRecords(Json.Document(Source,65001)[value])
