Loop within a loop - API query

Hi,

 

I would like create a loop within a loop using the Power Query advanced editor.

 

I want to loop through all group Ids in a list, then for each group id, loop through the pages returned in the API reponse and add this to a table. Any clue on how to do this? Thanks 

 

Below is the code that I currently have which only supports pagination so far.

let
group_ids = "X", "Y", "Z"
base_url = "https://devcloud.net",
getPage = (page_number) =>
let
relativeurl = "/api/v4/groups/" & group_id & "/epics?per_page=100&page=" & Text.From(page_number),
url = "https://devcloud.ubs.net",
headers = [
Authorization = "Bearer Token"
],
response = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url, [RelativePath=relativeurl, Headers=headers])),
issues = response
in
issues,
iteratePages = List.Generate(
() => 1,
each let currentPage = _,
currentPageData = getPage(currentPage)
in
currentPageData <> {},
each _ + 1,
each getPage(_)
),

To run loop in Power Query the following videos of mine can help you


For next loop by List.Accumulate

 

https://youtu.be/G8PRbWuDcmQ?si=1ij5Jo7kg1RboWgz

 

Do-while loop by List.Generate

https://youtu.be/iDYCtvTWFvY?si=piTHDUHGDnbt1kqU

 

 

but I think your problem might be solved by List.Transfrom also, so if you couldnt find the solution after whatching the videos, please provide sample of your question and result table then I can help you over your data

Please provide a more detailed explanation of what you are aiming to achieve. What have you tried and where are you stuck?


As you can probably appreciate it is nearly impossible to help with API queries without access to said API  (which you may not be willing to provide for understandable reasons)
