Power BI issues with Incapsula - header

I'm trying to get data->web to a service that uses Incapsula for DDOS and I'm getting the error:
DataSource.Error: The server committed a protocol violation.
Section=ResponseHeader Detail=CR must be followed by LF
There was a workaround posted here:
Power BI (Power Query) Web request results in "CR must be followed by LF" Error
But that workaround won't work for me, as the data that is returned is not a Web.Page (rather it's JSON) and therefore the Web.Page function will return a message that the results don't look like a Web.page.
Query looks like this:
= Json.Document(Web.Contents("url", [Headers=[Authorization="Basic {encoded value}", #"X-Forte-Auth-Organization-Id"="{org_id}"]]))
and will actually work when I use the query validator, but when I exit out to use I get the error shown above.
If I do this:
=Json.Document(Web.Page(Web.Contents(url, [Headers=[Authorization="Basic {encoded value}", #"X-Forte-Auth-Organization-Id"="{org_id}"]])))
then I get this error:
DataFormat.Error: The resource at 'url' cannot be retrieved using
Web.Page. It doesn't appear to be a web page.
Stack overflow wouldn't let me post the actual urls because I don't have enough reputation.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

[Disclaimer: I work for Incapsula]
I recommend contacting Incapsula support at support[at]incapsula.com
They can help you with this, but are unable to post the response publically.

Unable to POST NZ employee openingBalances to Xero?

I am attempting to create a single opening balances record against an existing employee but keep getting a 400 Bad Request response with this detail...
At least one NZ opening balance item is required in the request
I am following the instructions as per this documentation...
https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/payrollnz/employeeopeningbalances#post-opening-balances
URL : {DestinationID} is properly replaced with the employee GUIDhttps://api.xero.com/payroll.xro/2.0/employees/{DestinationID}/openingBalances
JSON Body[{"periodEndDate":"2011-01-30T00:00:00","daysPaid":5.00,"unpaidWeeks":0.00,"grossEarnings":1442.31}]
The Xero forums and support is pretty unreliable so I'm posting here in the hopes for a better response.
After some trial and error using the API Explorer that Xero provides I was able to get it working using their example....
I eventually learned that daysPaid and unpaidWeeks must both be integer whole numbers or else it fails.... The error message provided is misleading but this resolves the problem.

Gerrit API - get CommitInfo with optional WEB_LINKS - query syntax

I would like to create a REST query for Gerrit that would return CommitInfo entity but with a optional field containing so-called WEB_LINKS, that is "links to the commit in external sites as a list of WebLinkInfo entities."
This is how the query looks for obtaining the 'standard' CommitIinfo request (works correct):
https://<GERRIT_HOST>/a/projects/<PROJECT_NAME>/commits/<COMMIT_SHA>
According to the documentation (
1. https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/rest-api-changes.html#commit-info
2. https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/rest-api-changes.html#commit-info
)
I've written this:
https://<GERRIT_HOST>/a/projects/<PROJECT_NAME>/commits/<COMMIT_SHA>/?o=CURRENT_COMMIT&o=WEB_LINKS but I am getting Er=400 Client Error...
Could you please provide the corrent syntax of the query? In advance, thank you!
To get the WEB_LINKS info, the correct would be to add "?links" at the end of the command but I think this feature isn't available in project "Get Commit" endpoint.
But...
I was able to get this information using the change "Get Commit" endpoint using:
https://<GERRIT_HOST>/a/changes/<CHANGE_ID>/revisions/<COMMIT_SHA>/commit?links
Like for example:
https://<GERRIT_HOST>/a/changes/71135/revisions/c0d5d23ea05bf6e2011b453f1ee8c47a4da60821/commit?links

SQL LIKE '%...' in vba HTTP request

I am trying to run an SOQL query to the Salesforce REST API within a macro in Excel. I am using a LIKE statement to check if there are any email addresses with the same domain, which looks like this:
q=SELECT+email+FROM+Contact+WHERE+email+LIKE+'%#domain.com'
This is just the parameter given to the HTTP request, domain being a placeholder.
When I run the exact same request using Postman I get the correct response from the server, however in Excel I get Error 400 bad request.
When dropping the % it accepts the request, however then it obviously doesn't find any entries, as it is looking for the exact string "#domain.com".
Are there any known problems with the %-sign within vba? Or any other suggestions what could be the problem?
The problem is not with VBA, it is with your HTTP query. You need to escape the percent sign (%), which is a special characters. I guess Postman is doing this for you under the hood.
Hence, try :
q=SELECT+email+FROM+Contact+WHERE+email+LIKE+'%25#domain.com'
See : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding#Percent-encoding_the_percent_character
If that's not enough for the query to succeed, you may as well escape the arobas sign (#):
q=SELECT+email+FROM+Contact+WHERE+email+LIKE+'%25%40domain.com'

Can't connect Azure Table Storage to PowerBI (415) Unsupported Media Type)

I'm getting the error below while connecting to Azure Table Storage,
Details:
Blockquote "AzureTables: Request failed: The remote server returned an error:
(415) Unsupported Media Type. (None of the provided media types are
supported)
The one thing I noticed is that if I fill up only the account name it will automatically add the rest of the url which is ".table.core.windows.net" where in the portal its table.cosmosdb.azure.com.
With core.windows.net Im getting err "AzureTables: Request failed: The remote name could not be resolved". But it might messing up some headers while using table.cosmosdb.azure.com
Please advise.
Thank you.

You should be able to connect to your azure table storage/CosmosDB account using powerBi using the following link structure: https://STORAGEACCOUNTNAME.table.core.windows.net/ , or https://yourcosmosdbname.documents.azure.com:443/ for cosmosdb
You can get the correct link by going to Portal > go to Storage accounts > Click on Tables/CosmosDB > You'll find the table link you would like to link to powerbi > remove the last table name after "/", then use it to connect in powerbi, it will later allow you to select the specific table in powerBI:
These are screenshots from testing for CosmosDB:
Errors 415:
When it comes to these errors, they can be caused by cache, which can be flushed by going to:
In Power BI Desktop: Go to "File" and select "Options". Under "Data Load" you have the option to clear the cache. After doing this you can use "Get Data" and "OData-feed" as normal and the URL won't return the 415 error
Check the following link for additional suggestions:
Not clear how you consume the table service API, but here is the solution that worked for me for React SPA and fetch api.
Request header must contain:
"Content-Type":"application/json"
It was failing for me with single quotes, and worked with double.

I am trying to use Yodlee/executeUserSearchRequest as a RESTful request and need an answer on how to call

I am working with the Yodlee services in c# and using the RESTful api. So far I have successfully connected and logged in with my CobrandSession and UserSessionToken in the development environment. I used the sample apps provided in c# and with some advice from shreyans i got an app working. What I got working was
1) Get YodleeAuthentication
2) Get UserAuthentication
3) Get ItemSummaries
I am now trying to get the full transaction details for each of the Items (i.e. collections of accounts that are an Item)
reading the Docs here https://developer.yodlee.com/Indy_FinApp/Aggregation_Services_Guide/REST_API_Reference/executeUserSearchRequest it states that I need to call executeUserSearchRequest and then paginate through the results using the getUserTransactions. So I am stuck at this point. I dont really want a search which has parameters I just want ALL transactions for this account that I can see.
However, I am using the variables as defined in that page :-
var request = new RestRequest("/jsonsdk/TransactionSearchService/executeUserSearchRequest", Method.POST);
request.AddParameter("cobSessionToken", param.CobSessionToken);
request.AddParameter("userSessionToken", param.UserSessionToken);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.containerType", param.ContainerType);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.higherFetchLimit", param.HigherFetchLimit);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.lowerFetchLimit", param.LowerFetchLimit);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.resultRange.endNumber", param.EndNumber);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.resultRange.startNumber", param.StartNumber);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.currencyCode", param.CurrencyCode);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.postDateRange.fromDate", param.FromDate);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.postDateRange.toDate", param.ToDate);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.transactionSplitType.splitType", param.SplitType);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.ignoreUserInput", param.IgnoreUserInput);
request.AddParameter("transactionSearchRequest.searchFilter.itemAcctId", param.ItemAcctId);
var response = RestClientUtil.GetBase().Execute(request);
var content = response.Content;
return new YodleeServiceResultDto(content);
As per the response from shreyans in this posting Getting Error "Any one of [**] of transactionSearchFilter cannot be NULL OR Invalid Values I am not putting in the ClientId and the ClientName
The documentation doesn't specify the format of the dates but the example seems to tell me that its american date format. And specifies a parameter saying IgnoreUserinput, but doesnt have a parameter for user input so this is confusing
When I make a call using this format I get an error response
var getSearchResult = yodleeExecuteUserSearchRequest.Go(yodleeExecuteUserSearchRequestDto);
getSearchResult.Result="
{"errorOccured":"true","exceptionType":"Exception Occured","refrenceCode":"_60ecb1d7-a4c4-4914-b3cd-49182518ca5d"}"
But I get no error message in this and I have no idea what I have done wrong or where to look up this error, can somebody who has used Yodlee REST Api point me in the right direction as I need to get this researched quickly....
thanks your your help, advice, corrections and pointers....
