For Pull data from REST API with Authentication Should I Use Content Pack
We are using our own Rest Api Authentication .
In our scenario first Http Post request is sending with username and password ,
Response of first request have some tokens in its header .
Second Http Post request is using header tokens of first request's response. Response of second request have some tokens in its header and we are sending these tokens and set-cookie parameters to Third Http Post request . And coming datas in this way.
My Questions :
Should i use Content Pack because of i need Header parameters when sending and taking requests?
Or
Should i get Header parameters of responses and reuse them to send another request by writing M Query as Custom Data Connector?
Or
Should i use Content Pack and Custom Data Connector together?

Hi d_u_a,
Is it the "OAuth v2 authentication"? If so, I would suggest you try the Custom Data Connector.

No, It's not Aouth v2 authentication.
Hi
I see you have mentioned that you have used set-cookies in your http post request which was your third call and got the data.
I'm following the similar pattern where I'm sending multiple https requests. Initially to get the access_token and then to get the cookies to complete my authentication process. I'm building a custom data connector and able to get the access_token. Unfortunately, I'm facing a challenge in using "set-cookies" which is my call to our cookies url and will have the access_token as a Headers in my request. I would really appreciate if you could share the example of how you used set-cookies successfully.
Happy holidays.
