I am trying to extract information from a finance site API. I went to Data > From Web, and pasted the site's provided URL. But now nothing happens.

On the site instructions it says use these commands:

Rich (BB code):
GET /exchange/ticker

GET /exchange/v1/markets

How can I use these commands to fetch the data into Excel?

Thanks.

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
I went to Data > From Web, and pasted the site's provided URL
Are you pasting the full URL?

If it's this API:


Then you must prepend the base URL to the endpoints to get URL for Power Query, like this:

Code:
https://api.coindcx.com/exchange/v1/markets
