Power BI Refresh Error

Hi Guys, 

I am kinda new to M Code and trying to learn along the way. I trying to set up schdule refresh with my data set but i get the error message below..... i have also provided the Code with i run from the API. If anyone can help me to solve this issue?

Error Message = This dataset includes a dynamic data source. Since dynamic data sources aren't refreshed in the Power BI service, this dataset won't be refreshed.

M Code = 

let
// Source
source = "https://app.*******-****.com/api/v1/service",
apiKey = ************,

 

    // Data extracting from each page

    GetPage = (PageNumber as number) =>

        let

            url = source & "?" & "page=" & Number.ToText(PageNumber),

            headers = [ #"Authorization" = "Bearer " & apiKey ],

            response = Web.Contents(url, [Headers=headers]),

            json = Json.Document(response),

            data = json[data],

            nextPage = json[meta][pagination][next_page]

        in

            if List.Count(data) = 0 then null else data,

 

    // Looping through each pages

    GetAllPages = List.Generate(

        () => [Page = 1, Data = GetPage(1)],

        each [Data] <> null,

        each [Page = [Page] + 1, Data = GetPage([Page])],

        each [Data]

    ),

 

    // Pages into Table

    AllData = List.Combine(GetAllPages)

in

    AllData

Hi @SenPower ,

In most cases, Power BI semantic models that use dynamic data sources can't be refreshed in the Power BI service. There are a few exceptions in which dynamic data sources can be refreshed in the Power BI service, such as when using the RelativePath and Query options with the Web.Contents M function. Queries that reference Power Query parameters can also be refreshed.

To determine whether your dynamic data source can be refreshed, open the Data source settings dialog in Power Query Editor, and then select Data sources in current file. In the window that appears, look for the warning message, as shown in the following image:

Thank you! It worked. 
I have just set up the paths correctly using RelativePath.
