create custom connector to be used in API request using token

I have a API token from an application and I can select get data> web and add the base url and http parts to the dialog box and get data back. 

Now it is needed that we use the API token in PowerQuery SDK to create a custom connector that will be used to refresh though a gateway. 

Is this supported in PowerBI? Has anyone any advice on how to do this. ?I have searched though many youtube videos and pages but have not come across a description of how to achieve all the elements of this solution.

    I have moved this over to custom visuals development discussion forum as advised, but will leave this here in case someone on this forum want to contribute.

      From the pinned post that we live by when feeling the urge to post to  the forum:

       

      How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly


      Post in the Correct Forum

      This may seem elementary, but choose your forum wisely. Some top answerers regularly peruse the "All Topics" view of the forums, but not everyone. Some of the top answerers are more specialized. For example, I do not answer much in the Developer forums because I do not do a ton of custom, hard-core Development. But other answerers pretty much only do Development and that is the only forum they follow. Also, posting a question in the wrong forum will create confusion on the part of the answerer. For example, posting a question in the Power BI Service forum for a Power BI Desktop question will have the answerer thinking how the issue is solved in the Service, not the Desktop.

       

      Don't Cross-Post

      Cross-posting is considered rude and wasteful and it has been so since the dawn of forums. Don't do it. Again, some answerers use the "All Topics" view of the forums and then we see 5 posts with the same title and question. Which one do we answer? The bottom line, some community members will not answer a cross-posted topic on principle alone. If you are not sure where to post your question, use the "General" forum.
