I have the following Query to get data from a sharepoint list. Currently all the values are manual and I am only viewing and skipping a small number of rows.
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("http://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/<directory>/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('<name>')/items?$skiptoken=Paged=TRUE%26p_ID=5&$top=10&$select=Id",[Headers=[Accept="application/json"]])),
value = Source[value],
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(value, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"Id"},{"ID"})
in
#"Expanded Column1"
When changing skiptoken=Paged=TRUE%26p_ID= between 0 and 5, nothing changes in the output; it still shows the first 10 rows of data. I found this code on various websites and am fairly certain I have copied it exactly so I am unsure why the skiptoken part is not working.
Thanks in advance

Hi @Jojo197 - Please use the Power Query SharePoint Online list connector - Power Query | Microsoft Learn connector instead. I also recomend using Implemention="2.0" for the best performance and features.

Thank you, this did what I needed. Is there a reason why the skip token wasn't working with what I was doing?
Web.Contents does not have easy mechanism to capture the User Credentials to generate a token. You would need to develop a custom connector or a function to call for the token.
Instead, you could have switched to using the OData.Feed function instead of web contents. This will prompt for user credentials.
But I would not recommend because the new SharePoint.Tables approach is optimised for better performance and would require less additional transformations (e.g. renaming and data type conversions).
I tried the Web.Contents approach because the 2.0 implementation of the SharePoint connector is giving me a 500 internal server error. I have a list where the 2.0 implementation broke when the list went over 5000 items. I have other SP lists over 20000 items, and the 2.0 implementation is working fine. Any ideas? Hair is falling out over here.
