Datalflow failed to get data from API

I'm having a problem with Dataflow, which doesn't use the correct URL of an API. Dataflow misses some commas in the URL, so it can't import data. The URL I included is correct, otherwise it wouldn't work at first.

 

How can I solve this?

Thanks - what do you mean by "sometimes missed" - does this mean it doesn't happen all the time? Can you see a pattern?

Exactly. It doesn't happen all the time. I scheduled, 4 times each day to refresh, but some of refreshs doesn't work.

What is the error message you get when it fails?

Can you post an example of the correct URL and the M code you're using?

Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.xxxxxxx.com/public/xxxxxxxx&$select=ijjj&$expand=ddd($select=oooo,uuuu)"), 65001). The comma, betwen oooo and uuuu, sometimes is missed. I cannot share de exactly url, because it is from the company, but the url follows OData format.
