DataSource.Error: Web.Contents failed to get contents from (400): Bad Request

Hi there,

 

I am trying to get my power bi dataset in a CSV using Flow/Power Automate.

I used this blog www.thebiccountant.com/  to create the query and the flow but i get DataSource.Error: Web.Contents failed to get contents from (400): Bad Request when i add the last step of the flow.

 

When a HTTP request is received =>

Compose using Json(decodeBase64(triggerBody()['$content'])) =>

Create CSV File 

Up to this stage my query:

let
Source = OData.Feed("https://XXXXXXX),
ToArray = Table.ToRecords(Source),
ToJsonBinary = Json.FromValue(ToArray),
WebCall = Web.Contents("https://prod-180.westeurope.logic.azure.com:443/workflows/XXXXXXXX", [Content = ToJsonBinary]),
LinesFromBinary = Lines.FromBinary(WebCall)
in
LinesFromBinary

Works but asoon as i add the Create File step in my flow i get the error DataSource.Error: Web.Contents failed to get contents from (400): Bad Request in my power query

 

What am i doing wrong please help

I fixed my problem 😀

 

I end my flow with HTTP that sends it to a new flow where i create my file on onedrive

This is what my flows look like:

Good Morning!
Well, in our process experience via Power Query (we use a lot of DATAFLOWS), we consolidate that this type of problem is intermittent, because this error rarely happens, in an already consolidated process!
in short:
It really seems to be something from the Power BI Service platform in terms of performance x capacity.

Hi @WalterNC ,

you have to use a tool like Fiddler to analyse what's being sent from Power Query and compare that with the requests from your endpoint (flow).

When i use fiddler i get {"error":{"code":"InvalidRequestContent","message":"The input body for trigger 'manual' of type 'Request' must be of type JSON, but was of type 'application/octet-stream'."}} as an error back

Hi @WalterNC ,

sorry, but I don't have more ideas here.

If you used the code provided with the "Json.FromValue" as the last function before putting it into the body, there must be something wrong with that function, actually.

But I don't have time currently to dig deeper into it, unfortunately.

At thebiccountant they add outputs('Compose')['BinaryContent'] to the Create CSV but im not allowed to add ['BinaryContent'].

I get the error The template language expression 'outputs('compose')['BinaryContent']' cannot be evaluated because property 'BinaryContent' cannot be selected

 

Might this be the problem?
