Static analysis for custom connector
Hello,
I've developed a custom Power BI connector to query data from an internal REST API via OAuth, but in order to get it installed in our Gateway I need upstream approval; which would be a lot easier with, say, a SAST report. Is there any such tool available?
Thanks for the reply from lbendlin , please allow me to provide another insight:
Hi, Anonymous
Could you please let us know if lbendlin's response resolved your issue? If it did, kindly accept it as the solution.
Firstly, regarding SAST (Static Application Security Testing) tools, to my knowledge, the official resources do not currently provide such tools. I would recommend seeking third-party software to meet this requirement.
Secondly, here is the official documentation I found on custom connectors, which I hope will be helpful to you:
Trusted Third-Party Connectors in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Use custom data connectors with the on-premises data gateway - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Connector extensibility in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Of course, if you have any new discoveries or questions, please feel free to get in touch with us.
Best Regards,

Nobody can stop you from installing your own gateway. You can test it there and demonstrate that it works.
