Has anyone successfully connected the Totara API to Power BI?

I’ve been able to create queries that successfully return a list of all courses using the core_course_courses API. However, I’m encountering a "internal server error" when attempting to call the core_user_users query.

Has anyone else run into this, or have suggestions on how to resolve it?

Hi Sophie,

If this is still causing a problem, I'd recommend speaking with your Totara Partner (Catalyst) as I think they should be able to assist with this.

If not, and/or they run into issues, they can submit a support ticket to our technical team for assistance.

Thanks

Tom

Hey Sophie Davey,

Curious if you were able to work something out?

We are planning to connect the Totara API to Power BI soon, and I'm wondering what are the options.

Thank you!

Ilona
