Web query error: The Web.Page function requires Active Scripting to be enabled in Internet Explorer options

I have a web query set up (ie Data>>From Web) where the source is connected via an API.
Everything is working great as long as the data set is relatively small - I can manipulate the parameters by date and it is working for 2 months (~13K rows) but if I change it to 6 months then I get this error:

"TheWeb.Page function requires Active Scripting to be enabled in Internet Exploreroptions"

I know that it is not a problem with the data source because if I change the format to be CSV then the data does all come through, but all in one column in html code. If I could delimit it neatly then that would also do the trick but it also ends up with every second row being blank.

Please note that I have found instructions to change this setting in Internet Explorer, but I don't have Internet Explorer on this computer, only Edge which doesn't seem to have the same options.

Also, I have tried running on an older computer that does have Internet Explorer and got the same error. But when I followed the directions to change the settings I found that Active Scripting was already enabled.

Hoping someone can help!

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
