Hey there,
I am new to Fabric and was trying to connect to our HR Software Personio, which is using a OAuth 2.0 API. Any pointers on how to use this as a source would be highly appreciated. Unfortunately it doesn't really fit with any of the authorization methods, that fabric provides. And I only have client ID, client secret and the URL of the API.
Best regards

You could try using a Notebook for this task.
In Data Factory, we have an SDK that allows you to create your own connector. We plan to enable support for custom connectors in Dataflow Gen2 later this year, but we don't have an ETA to share. However, such connector would work for something like Power BI Desktop and, if certified by the Personio folks, it would effectively also show up in Dataflow Gen2. I'd recommend reaching out to the Personio folks and asking them to create a connector and certify it for Power BI and Fabric.
Below is the link to learn more about the SDK and the connector certification program for the Personio folks:
