Dear Helpers,
I hope there is a solution to my issue:
I have an API Call that gets the latest energy prices from ENTSO-E Platform. I call the API as follows:
Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://transparency.entsoe.eu/api?securityToken=" & "MYTOKEN" & "&documentType=A44&" & "in_Domain=" & #"ENTSO-E-Zone-DE" & "&out_Domain=" & #"ENTSO-E-Zone-DE" & "&periodStart=" & "202112312300" & "&periodEnd=" & Date.ToText(Date.AddDays(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),-1),"yyyyMMdd")&"2300", [Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/xml"]])),When I publish it to the service it says, that it can't refresh automatic as I use a dynamic datasource. I guess that the calculated period end is the problem. Is there any way to solve this issue or a best practice with dynamic API calls?
I look forward to your suggestions
Best regards
Manuel
