set up API query with key

[Wikolin]

Hi All,

Im struggeling to set up connection to MarineTraffic. I have a key from MarineTracffic but im unable to get the source to work.

I have a request limit 1 pr hour. 

When i paste the link in Edge browser i get a expexted result. But not in Power Bi.

https://services.marinetraffic.com/api/expectedarrivals/"APIKEY"?v=3&msgtype=extended&protocol=xml&portid=NOAES&fromdate=2021-11-05%2012%3A00%3A00&todate=2021-11-06%2012%3A00%3A00)

This is what i have in the query:

let
Source = Xml.Document(Web.Contents("https://services.marinetraffic.com/api/expectedarrivals/"APIKEY"?v=3&msgtype=extended&protocol=xml&portid=NOAES&fromdate=2021-11-07%2012%3A00%3A00&todate=2021-11-08%2012%3A00%3A00)"))
in
Source

Any ideas?

Hi @Wikolin ,

You may try:

Source = Xml.Document(Web.Contents("https://xxx&APIKey="))

Please try this instead with 2 sets of quotation marks

let
Source = Xml.Document(Web.Contents("https://services.marinetraffic.com/api/expectedarrivals/""APIKEY""?v=3&msgtype=extended&protocol=xml&portid=NOAES&fromdate=2021-11-07%2012%3A00%3A00&todate=2021-11-08%2012%3A00%3A00)"))
