Programmatically load REST data

Hello,

I am new to Qlik and I am trying to programmatically query a REST endpoint, using parameters that I have previously loaded with another endpoint.

Basically, in pseudocode:

GET "http://myapi/api/v1/Site?apikey=blablabla" // returns a table with a "SiteId" column.

for each vSite in SiteId:
  GET "http://myapi/api/v1/vSite?apikey=blablabla?param=extraparam
  NEXT

The WITH CONNECTION keyword seems to be what I am looking for, but I am missing some concrete example on how to use it when iterating over another table?
