Summary

User is seeking guidance on connecting to an API that requires session token authentication via query parameters and body payload. They are exploring alternatives to pipe the session token to a variable, possibly using the CDK.


Question

Hi! I need to connect an API that

  1. has all their endpoints at /, only accepts POST
  2. authenticates using query params, generating a session token
  3. accepts a type: and a token: in its body to authenticate further calls
    I’m finding it’s not possible to pipe the the session token to a variable, https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/discussions/47335 … but perhaps there’s another way? using the CDK perhaps?
