Hello sujeesh
you have to use a custom function for this. Create a table with your IDs, and then apply your custom function on a new column, passing the ID as parameter. I prepared for you a code example (not applying your API quering steps though). You have to put all your code here using "id" instead of your hardcoded one
let Source = #table ( {"Release_ID"}, { {"473"}, {"523"}, {"456"}, {"654"}, {"321"} } ), QueryAPI = (id)=> let //YourStepsGoHere // your reading function here("https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/fe-tfs/Advisory%20products/_apis/Release/releases/" & id &"?api-version=5.1-pre..." in id, AddColumn = Table.AddColumn ( Source, "QueryQuery", each QueryAPI([#"Release_ID"]) ) in AddColumnCopy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
