I am a newby, but try to request an API in power query.
I had the following but want to change it to use parameters:
let
body = "{
""organisation"":""*****"",
""username"":""*****"",
""password"":""******""
}",
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.olisa.eu/rest/sessions/open",
[Headers = [#"Accept-version"= "v3",
#"Content-Type"= "application/json"],
Content = Text.ToBinary(body)]
)),
#"Geconverteerd naar tabel" = Record.ToTable(Source)
in
#"Geconverteerd naar tabel"
THis was working, but now i try the following: and this gives an error.
let
OrganisationPar = Organisation,
UsernamePar = Username,
PasswordPar = Password,
body = "{
""organisation"":"&OrganisationPar&",
""username"":"&UsernamePar&",
""password"":"&PasswordPar&"
}",
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.olisa.eu/rest/sessions/open",
[Headers = [#"Accept-version"= "v3",
#"Content-Type"= "application/json"],
Content = Text.ToBinary(body)]
)),
#"Geconverteerd naar tabel" = Record.ToTable(Source)
in
#"Geconverteerd naar tabel"

""username"":"""&UsernamePar&""",
""password"":"""&PasswordPar&"""
}"

Try this
body = "{
""organisation"":""&OrganisationPar&"",
""username"":""&UsernamePar&"",
""password"":""&PasswordPar&""
}"
Still got an error.. I added a , on the end of the body because it was required.
