How can I use QUERY API in power BI to pull the insight report data only to Power BI as a table or JSON file?

To use the Mixpanel Query API in Power BI to pull Insights report data, you can follow these steps: 1. Use the Insights Query API endpoint: You'll need to make a GET request to the /insights endpoint of the Mixpanel Query API. 2. Required parameters: - project_id: Your Mixpanel project ID - bookmark_id: The ID of your Insights report3. Authentication: Ensure you have the necessary authentication credentials to access the API.4. In Power BI: - Use the "Web" data source to connect to the API endpoint. - Construct the URL with your project_id and bookmark_id. - Handle the authentication as required by Mixpanel. - The data will be returned in JSON format, which Power BI can parse.Here's an example of what the API response structure looks like: LBKS{ "computed_at": "string", "date_range": { "from_date": "string", "to_date": "string" }, "headers": ["string"], "series": { "Event Name": { "2020-08-17T00:00:00-07:00": 7832, "2020-08-24T00:00:00-07:00": 6234 } } }LBKSYou can then transform this JSON data into a table format in Power BI as needed.For more detailed information on using the Insights Query API, refer to the Mixpanel Developer Documentation.Note that the Query API has a rate limit of 60 queries per hour and a maximum of 5 concurrent queries, so be mindful of these limitations when setting up your Power BI refresh schedule.
