Rows are nested one level deeper

PowerQuery routes put the records at data.data — not at data. The total number of matches is on data.totalCount, which is the value you page against. Note that this key is named per route family (totalCount, totalCompanies, totalSuppliers, totalBrokers).

Top-level fields#

  • data an object holding the result rows (data.data) and the match total (data.totalCount)
  • requestCostData credits used for this call (0 if none)
  • creditsRemainingYour data credit balance after the call
  • executionTimeHow long the request took
  • totalCountTotal matching records, not just this page
