Re: Dataflow Monday.com API

gregoliveira · ‎07-19-2023

Hi!

I have a board at Monday.com with around 1,2k items. I coded a function that retrieves the items and then iterated in each row to load their details.

This same structure works perfectly in Power BI Desktop and Online (dataset with automatic refresh); however, the flow did not work as well in Power Query Online (dataflow). In truth, it works if I set an item limit, for example, only the top 20 rows.

The error message is very vague.

Someone may help me. Thanks!

It's hard to know for sure, but I'd investigate throttling issues. How many calls per second/minute/hour can you make against that API? Consider using Invoke.After to pace your API calls.

@otravers, thanks for your support. I will try to use InvokeAfter, but I do not believe this is throttling issue because I do not have any error refreshing the data in the dataset.

Maybe I will need to extract this data with the dataset...
