Error: "Can´t Save Data Flow" One or more entities reference a dynamic data source

Hi

 

On the next lines a code to connect to an API using the white Query option. Unfortunatelly althoug I´m getting the data (Image 1) I can´t save the Query, I´m getting the error that you can see on the image 2. 

 

Important to mention that I´m creating different entities / tables that connect to the same company using different url endpoints. Also is important to mention that the API gets new data every time.

 

Any ideas?

 

@Jimmy801  maybe can you save me again?

 

Code:

let
    Final = List.Generate
    (
        ()=>
        [
            Result= Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.repsly.com/v3/export/clients/0", [Headers=[Accept="application/json"]])),
            TotalCount = 1
    

        ],
        each [TotalCount]>0,
        each 
        [
            
            Result= Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.repsly.com/v3/export/clients/" & Text.From([Result][MetaCollectionResult][LastTimeStamp]), [Headers=[Accept="application/json"]])) ,
            TotalCount = [Result][MetaCollectionResult][TotalCount]
             

        ],

        each [Result][Clients]
    ),
    FinalTable = Table.FromRecords(List.Combine(Final))
in
    FinalTable
