Hi,
Since Walmart has a API available to get its data, I am wondering if I can call the API from PBI?
Is there a way to resolve an API and populate some matrixs?
Thanks

Hi @Rigolleto
Yes, it is possible to get data from an API with Power BI. For a simple GET request to an API, you can use the Web connector directly. Go to Get data > Web. Select Advanced option if it requires some more header parameters in the request.
If a request is more complicated or it's a POST request, you need to write some M codes which includes Web.Contents and paste the codes in Advanced Editor of a query in Power Query Editor to call an API.
You could refer to this article Getting Started with API's in Power Query • My Online Training Hub to start exploring it.
