How can I use User/Pass authentication method for a third party service with Data Studio Community Connectors?

I'm trying to create a connector that fetch data from an API. The API authentication need username and password and return a token in the end. For now I'm using TextInput element of the getConfig() methode to get username and password from the user.

What I want to do : Display an HTML page to the user which contain username and password input. directly after Data Studio authorization. How can I do that with app script ?

Solution

  • Use the USER_PASS authentication method. This will generate the credentials input screen for you and you do not need to create your own HTML page. See the Authentication guide for example code for implementation.
