Data Source - Change Auth Token

This endpoint allows you to change the authentication token, either a Bearer Token or a Custom Auth Header Token for a given data source.

The general format of the API endpoints is:

CODE

{YOURBASEURL}/api/custom/DataSource/ChangeAuthToken/{DATASOURCEID}

Variable Parameters:

Base URL

Depending on your data residency settings, you may need to look up {YOURBASEURL} to create the endpoint URL. You’ll find the BaseURL in the Settings tab above the API secret.

Data Source ID

To update an existing data source via API, you need the {DATASOURCEID}of the target data source that is to be replaced by the new file. You will find this ID at the very top of the Data Source Configuration screen (Data Source tab).

Limitations: (might be subject to change)

a maximum of 1 request per minute
a maximum of 100 requests per 24 hours
will not invalidate already cached versions. This can be worked around by decreasing the cache minutes value.
