Article Summary

If a connector for your service isn't available in Dataddo, you can use one of the following features to authorize your service and create an authorizer.

Universal Any Header Authorizer

The universal header authorizer allows for automatic addition of a custom authorization header to your API requests, typically used for keys or API tokens. The header names can vary based on the API's requirements.

  1. Testing Endpoint: Enter a URL for authentication testing. This should be any accessible endpoint from your desired API.
  2. Header Details: Specify the header name and its corresponding value. If the API requires multiple headers, you can add them as needed.

Universal Basic Header Authorizer

The universal basic header allows you to create a standard authorization header using a username and password.

  1. Credentials: Input the username and password that the API requires for access.
  2. Testing Endpoint: Provide a URL to test the credentials. This should be an endpoint from the API you intend to use.

Universal Query Authorizer

The universal query authorizer automatically appends an authorization query parameter to your requests, often necessary for APIs that require keys or API tokens within the URL.

  1. Testing Endpoint: Enter a URL for authentication testing. This should be any accessible endpoint from your desired API.
  2. Query Parameters: Enter the name and value for your query parameter. Add more query parameters if necessary.
