HELP NEEDED: GETING DATA FROM API

[badluckmath]

I have to pull a data from a websource that provides a webAPI to downlood the data, here's a tamplate:

https://hq.appsflyer.com/export/com.greatapp/partners_report/v5?api_token=xxxx
&from=2018-04-09&to=2018-05-09&media_source=googleadwords_int

The problem is that, i need to insert a data range on this link, as you can see in the line "from=2018-04-09&to=2018-05-09".

This data will be used to make reports from a certain date up to today's date. But i need to do it without having to change the url everyday.

Is there any way of doing this using DAX?

Here is an example of a pull:

I would like the data from July ( 2020-07-01 ) until this date. How to do that?

Hi @badluckmath 

You can create two parametrs FromDate and ToDate for the same and use it in the example to pull 

for example 

= csv.Dcoument(web.Contents("https://hq.appsflyer.com/export/com.greatapp/partners_report/v5?api_token=xxxx&from="&FromDate&"&to="&ToDate&"&media_source=googleadwords_int"))

I need the date in the format yyyy-mm-dd, how would this be?

FORMAT(TODAY(), "YYYY-MM-DD") is not working for me, see how it looks:

"....from=2020-07-01&to="& FORMAT(TODAY(), "YYYY-MM-DD")&"&additional_fields=keyword_id,store_reinstall,...."

@badluckmath

Replace the date range text with the following text. If you created a parameter. replace #date(2020,7,1) with the parameter name

= ".... from=" & Date.ToText(#date(2020,7,1),"YYYY-MM-DD")& "&to=" & Date.ToText(Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()), "YYYY-MM-DD")

Result

.... from-2020-07-01-to-2020-09-20
