This dataset includes a dynamic data source: how to replace "each <function-call>"?

Hi Boeboey
To refresh the dynamic data source in Power BI Service, you can use the RelativePath and Query options with the Web.Contents M function. You could first refer to the following blogs to get some basic understanding.

Setting a scheduled refresh on a Dynamic Data Source in Power BI
According to your URL, you can try using RelativePath option. Your URL structure is similar to the example in above latter link.
From
url = "https://api.mywebsite.com/api/device/"&Number.ToText(DeviceID)&"/data/events/export", GetJsonQuery = Csv.Document(Web.Contents(url, [Headers=[Authorization=AccessTokenHeader, Accept="application/json"]]),[Delimiter=";", Columns=3, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),to
baseURL = "https://api.mywebsite.com/api", GetJsonQuery = Csv.Document(Web.Contents(baseURL, [Headers=[Authorization=AccessTokenHeader, Accept="application/json"], RelativePath="device/"&Number.ToText(DeviceID)&"/data/events/export"]),[Delimiter=";", Columns=3, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),You may need to adjust the baseURL because the trick of using the RelativePath and Query options with Web.Contents() only works if the first parameter (baseURL) passed to Web.Contents() is a url that itself can be called on its own without an error.

Thanks for your support Team _ Jing!
Your solution worked!
I managed to get rid of the "dynamic data source" error.
Unfortunately, I get another error now: [Unable to combine data] Section1/Assets/Changed Type5 references other queries or steps, so it may not directly access a data source. Please rebuild this data combination.
But I'm trying to fix this as well.
