Gathering data from APIs in Power BI - Chris Barber (Option 1)

Gathering data from APIs is an effective time saving method to get up-to-date information. We’ll explore how to achieve this by pulling information from the Nasdaq stock market so you can track stocks in an automated way. Even if you don’t use stock market information, there is a plethora of data you can access via APIs and it’s an incredibly useful technique.

Whilst there is some relatively advanced m code - the code behind the query editor in Power BI, Excel and dataflows – we will walk you through this in a step-by-step manner.

This will be useful for those who are starting out with Power BI or those that are yet to delve into the m language.

Chris Barber is presenting this session.
