using date as parameter syntax

[JeffGrant]

Hi All,

I cant seem to get this right.

I have the following API call

= Table.FromColumns({Lines.FromBinary(Web.Contents("https://XXXXX/" & "02-feb-2023" & "? etc etc

And I want to change the date part ie 02-feb-2023 to default to the system date on the computer.

For whatever reason I am gettign error messages saying that the & can not be used on text or tables.

The date parameter needs to be a text string for the API call to work

I have several API calls all using the same format, so it is becoming rather cumbersom to change them manually everyday.

Can somebody please help me out with the syntax.

Thanks in advance.

After a several hours searching and trying different scenarios, I made the query work with this:

Let
Date = Date.ToText(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()),"dd-MMM-yyyy")

Source = Csv.Document(Web.Contents("https://XXXX/" & Date & "?ApiKey=ZZZZZ"),[Delimiter=",", Columns=17, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None])
