Custom connector - pass variable to oauth methods

[Kurren]

I am making a custom connector and am implementing OAuth. I want the user to input some text when they connect, and this text be part of the oauth url. How can I pass in this parameter? It doesn't seem to be in the function signatures.

Thanks

Hi @Kurren 

I don't have much insight in building custom connectors. I think since the data source function can include required parameters, perhaps you can try adding a required parameter in the data source function, combine it to the base url as a dataSourcePath and pass it to the OAuth Signatures. https://docs.microsoft.com/power-query/handlingresourcepath#data-source-path-format
