This lesson guides you through the process of creating API queries to obtain forecasted population data. Starting with prepared indicator and location IDs, you’ll learn to test the query incrementally for accurate responses. By adjusting privacy settings in Power BI, potential errors related to privacy can be managed effectively. Utilizing parameters allows for dynamic API calls, ensuring flexibility in data retrieval.

You’ll also understand how to verify API responses, including checking the number of pages and records, and implement pagination for comprehensive data retrieval.

Looking ahead, the upcoming module will focus on visualization creation. You’ll prepare queries for refresh in Power BI Service, publish them, and schedule refreshes for seamless data updates.
