Hello,
This is to request help to split a json weblink
I have an json file retreived from an api web link:
Before Change:
= Json.Document(Web.Contents("
https://api.funnel.io/api/account/v1/-account_id-/project/project_id?group_by=campaign_day&start_day...")
After Change:
= Json.Document(Web.Contents(
"https://api.funnel.io/api/",
[
RelativePath="account/v1/-account_id-/project/project_id"
Query=
[
group_by="campaign_day",
start_day="2017-01-01",
end_day="2050-12-31",
fields="common-cost",
apiToken="12345_example",
]
]
))
Error message: token comma expected
I thought it could be an issue with the date formate. But I still get the same error after removing the two lines.
Reason for wanting change:
to help power Bi service recognize the link for authentication
References:
1) http://blog.datainspirations.com/2018/02/17/dynamic-web-contents-and-power-bi-refresh-errors/
Here are the corrected web contents which work on the power BI desktop. (there was a comma missing after the relative path.
Refresh successful in desktop but fails to authenticate on the power BI service.
Failed to update data source credentials: Web.Contents failed to get contents from 'https://api.funnel.io/api/' (404): Not Found
= Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.funnel.io/api/",
[
RelativePath="account/v1/-account_id-/project/project_id",
Query=
[
group_by="campaign_day",
start_day=Date.FromText("2017-01-01"),
end_day=Date.FromText("2050-12-31"),
fields="common-cost",
apikey="12345_example",
]
]
))
Hi data_team_afri,
The site url may not the domain or the root path of the server which can be visited. You may change the domain url and try again.

Hi data_team_afri,
Maybe you can mofidy the query like this and check if this can work.
= Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.funnel.io/api/",
[
RelativePath="account/v1/-account_id-/project/project_id"
Query=
[
group_by="campaign_day",
start_day=Date.FromText("2017-01-01"),
end_day=Date.FromText("2050-12-31"),
fields="common-cost",
apikey="12345_example",
]
]
))
