Whats the different between viaAPI and viaEnhancedAPI refresh types?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
In short, "viAPI" is the default option and "viaEnhancedAPI" offers additional features such as OAuth 2.0 authentication and automatic data refresh, making it a more secure and convenient option for data source connectivity.
I hope this post helps to solve your issue and if it does consider accepting it as a solution and giving the post a thumbs up!
