Hi @Pranoti98 

 

The 429 error indicates that the SharePoint API call is being throttled due to exceeding request limits. Even if the dataset is small, SharePoint applies throttling when too many requests are made in a short period or when the method used is not optimised.

 

 

Try reduce calls and use controlled pagination:

 

Source = Web.Contents(
    "https://naturalcapitalpartners.sharepoint.com/sites/CC/",
    [
        RelativePath = "_api/web/lists/getbyid('5156a0d3-ba22-405a-80...')/items",
        Headers = [Accept="application/json"]
    ]
)

Hey @Pranoti98 ,
while using Sharepoint content try to use the corresponding Sharepoint connector (I guess likely Sharepoint Folder).
It's a different logic behind this connector compared to the Web connector.
