Clockify - Best way to get ALL data into excel or access using the REST api?

问题

I am trying to get all data into excel using the Get data from web option but I am not sure how to properly configure it. I did get the API key.

EDIT: Below is the path I use, but that is only the time entries for one user, I need them for ALL users. https://api.clockify.me/api/v1/workspaces/myWorkspace/user/myUser/time-entries

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I didn't read that you wanted to use Power Query in Excel. The Advanced Editor only works with this code in Power BI Desktop.

You'll need to program the request in the Advanced Editor in Power Query.

Here is an example of connecting to the Get Workspace Clients endpoint:

let

   baseUrl = "https://api.clockify.me/api/v1/",
   apiKey = "your-api-key",
   workspaceID = "5dfb421c1b30342708229760",

GetWorkspace = (workspaceID as text) =>
   let
       options = [Headers = [#"X-Api-Key"= apiKey, #"Content-Type" = "application/Json"], 
                            RelativePath = "workspaces/" & workspaceID & "/clients"],
       call = Web.Contents(baseUrl, options),
       jsonParsed = Json.Document(call)
   in
       jsonParsed

in
    GetWorkspace

Using this function you just have to change the parameters you need according to the endpoint you want to hit. The baseUrl will be the same, you'll need to change the RelativePath with the rest of the url and if you need to pass some query parameters, put them after RelativePath in a record, like this:

RelativePath = "workspaces/" & workspaceID & "/clients", Query = [page = "1"]],

I recommend using Postman to make the calls and Fiddler to track how the Url is being constructed. Then compare Postman requests with your power query requests, to check the differences.
