Help with a macro and/or API call

Hi,

 

Im looking to call a web API and get some information on certain codes - I want the legal name from the LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) code...  I can call the API and get back the results I want but if I post more than 15 LEI codes, it splits the results into more than one page.

So... I either somehow figure out how to get all the results pages and then use a macro to loop round then, or I send them up in batches of 15 at a time using a macro.  Either way I need to use a macro!  

Im thinking of the later option, split my list of LEI codes into batches of 15 at a time, call the API with those 15 then union all the results together at the end.

Ive never written a macro before - can anybody give me some pointers on this?  At this point I have 28 rows with 1 column, the LEI code, how do I create something that will take in 15 at a time (I can then concatenate the 15 into a comma separated list and append this t the API call URL)

Hello @craigja ,

 

you can use for that batch macros.

 

I have set up for you an example where each line fetches one result.
