Create new column to get stock prices with API

[Anonymous]

Good morning all,

Hope someone can help me. I need to create a new column that shows the price of a specific asset trough an API.

API link is like this:

https://api.binance.com/api/v3/ticker/price?symbols=["BTCUSDT"]

1 - I need to replace this part of the API ["BTCUSDT"] with the first column named "Coin".

2 - Then to run the API and retrieve the price in the new coulmn I think I should use something like "" Text.From(Web.Contents([ColumnName]))"" or maybe some other formula.

Thank you very much 🙂

Something like this.  Note that access is restricted so you will need to provide authentication in the code.

let
  Source = #table({"Coin"}, {{"BTC"}, {"ETH"}, {"SOL"}}), 
  #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(
    Source, 
    "Data", 
    each Web.Contents(
      "https://api.binance.com/api/v3/ticker/price", 
      [Query = [symbols = [Coin] & "USDT"]]
    )
  )
in
  #"Added Custom"
