List.Generate Pagination Help?
Hello All,
I have this Query below that does a POST REST API call for results. Note the "Page=" where I can specify a page of results. I'm trying to figure out how to paginate this to get all results. I think it would somehow use List.Generate to check against a null value? Would someone help out? Note that with this API the total record count value is in a return header which I gather from reading we can't actually see in Power Query/Power BI? Normally I would use that record count to create a table of that number. Help?
let
url = "https://tessy.com/tessituraservice/Reporting/Lists/182243/Results",
body = "OutputSetId = 1137"&"Page=1",
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url,[Headers = [#"Authorization"="Basic <<encoded>>", #"Content-Type"="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"], Content = Text.ToBinary(body)]))

Hi rsderby68 ,
You can try to remove "&"Page=1" and run again to get all pages.
Or you need to get the maximum number of pages according to your API.

Please see Method 3 in this article to see how to do this. The example is pretty close to your scenario.
