Pass URL from user input to StartLogin Method in OAuth authentication

[jyotiraditya12]

Hi,

I am building a custom connector to connect to our API via OAuth2. This is so we can use our api as a data source to powerbi.

I need a parameter to construct Authorize URL  as input from the user. It's called domain URL in ui. How do I pass domain URL to StartLogin function?

I basically need these one variables to construct . Any references would be helpful too.

Thank you in advance.

@jyotiraditya12 Did you find a solution to this?  I've just started looking into this for my own code.  Currently having to produce 2 custom connectors - one pointing at dev environment, the other at production.

I'm hoping I can have the one connector file with a specifiable environment name! 🤞🏻

Hi @jyotiraditya12 ,

Sorry for that we did not find a sample to add input box in the UI sample , but here is a thread about dorp list in UI you  can refer : https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Custom-Data-Connector-UI-Dropdown-list/td-p/484102

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/handlingdataaccess#publish-to-ui

Then the result sohuld be used in the function, please refer to the documnet about oauth flow:   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/handlingauthentication#implementing-an-oauth-flow. 

Best regards,
