Modify credentials of Data Source

I am using web connector to get my data. It is an API that uses a token for authentication. when I initially configure a data source I add Authorization header where I provide my token. Everything works fine until the token is expired. At this pint it tells to update Credentials, however I dont see how I can change the token. Must be missing something obvious. Please help.

 

Thanks

Hi @Markzolotoy 

 

A token is not created by you. It is generated by an API in the service that you are accessing to query data from. Please check the documentation of that API to find out how to get a token. Usually you can create a query to get token from an API.
