This dataset includes a dynamic data source refresh failed API

[Samco23]

Hello,

I am using the API below which refreshed ok in Desktop but is returning an error in Service because I am using dates from a query. Is there a way to modify the API to aviod this error as described in the articles below?

Web.Contents("...URL..."metrics?timespan=" & StartDate & "/" & EndDate & "&interval=PT" & Interval & "&metricnames=" & Metrics & "&top=100&aggregation=" & aggregation & "&api-version=2023-10-01&region=canadacentral&metricNamespace=" & Namespace & "&$filter=Microsoft.ResourceId eq '*'"))

StartDate= Date.ToText(Date.From( Date.AddDays(DateTime.LocalNow(),-14)),"yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.000Z")

EndDate= Date.ToText(Date.From( Date.AddDays(DateTime.LocalNow(),+0)),"yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.000Z")

Issue described here:

Hi @Samco23 ,

In the question you have given, you can implement it in desktop but there is no way to implement it in service, in the documentation you have given,

we can try to change your dynamic date to static date to make a try.

let

   // Manually define the start date and end date

   StartDate = "2024-06-28T00:00:00.000Z",

   EndDate = "2024-07-12T00:00:00.000Z",

URL = "...URL...metrics?timespan=" & StartDate & "/" & EndDate & "&interval=PT" & Interval & "&metricnames=" & Metrics & "&top=100&aggregation=" & aggregation &

"&api-version=2023-10-01&region=canadacentral&metricNamespace=" & Namespace & "&$filter=Microsoft.ResourceId eq '*'",

    Source = Web.Contents(URL)

in

    Source
