Hi,
I am currentely trying to connect to an API using OAuth2, so I figured I try out Power Query SDK and custom data connectors. However, is this possible no matter what programming language the API requires?
I am trying to obtain the API token which contains three steps:
. Obtaining the API token contains 3 steps:
The response in both step 1 and 3 is in application/json format, while step 2 do not give a response in itself. So I am not quite sure what to do with step 2, is one of these programming languages mandatory or just suggested?
Hi @Jonas1 , did you manage to get the connector to work?
I'm also working with the scania API and im stuck, can you give any hints on how to proceed?
Thanks
Wes
Not sure if this helps, but have you considered getting a ready made connector instead of building one from scratch?
When building a connector from scratch, besides all the hard work getting it to work in the first place, there can a significant maintenance effort every time the API changes...
Why don't you check an out-of-the-box solution like https://www.connecting-software.com/connect-bridge/ maybe they have the connector you need? And then you can link to it from Python, no problem.
Hi @ananeto ,
I resolved this by setting it up myself in Python. They have designated libraries to connect to APIs and there are lots of forums/blogs that can solve the problems that arrives, so highly recommend it! I have already connected to several APIs and I thinks this is a valuable skill to have.
