how to create a query that paginates?
- 10 years ago
With List.Generate you should be able to "harvest" the list of URL's - you can even try to "harvest" the content at the same time. (But watch out: There's an error in the documentation: Result of last example should be {2, 4, 6, 8})
See Chris' article on how List.Generate works in general: http://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2014/06/25/using-list-generate-to-make-multiple-replacements-of-words-in-text-in-power-query/

Just to clarify, does something like this support being "published" up to powerbi.com to run as a service vs desktop mode?
I saw another post that broke out into many functions and someone said "you can't upload functions" (truncated).
TIA

To my knowedge if it works in desktop with privacy settings on, it should also work in the service.
There are issues in the service with HTML-string and this article has good tips for it: http://blog.datainspirations.com/2018/02/17/dynamic-web-contents-and-power-bi-refresh-errors/

Ok, So I went and setup a Get JSON data source and it works in Power BI desktop but when I publish it I see;
Dataset - had error. Unable to refresh the model because it references an unsupported data source.Then I found the help page about data refresh here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/refresh-data#what-can-be-refreshed and it says:
Note
If you are using the Web.Page function, you do need a gateway if you have republished the dataset or your report after November 18th, 2016.
So apparently this doesn't work, I need a gateway. I'm trying to publish this for other users outside my org and I can't ask them to install a gateway.
