Hi there,

I'm trying to setup Stimulsoft so that it connects to a REST API.
Problem: I don't know how to write the connection string.

I have the url, the login and password, the token required... but I don't know how to use them!

Can you please help me by providing me with a example?

Thank you.

Hello,

Please try to use the OData data source.

Thank you.

Hi Lech,

Thank you for your reply.
That's what I'm doing, but then I'm asked to enter the connection string, which I don't know how to set up.

Can you please help me for that part?

Thank you.

Hello,

Please try to check the Build option.

Thank you.

Much easier indeed, thanks!

Hello

We are always glad to help you!

Thank you.

Hi again,

I successfully built the connection string thanks to the wizard, but I'm getting an "401 Unauthorized" error message.
My IT departement says that this API requires a NTLM protocol authentification. Is stimulsoft able to do that? If yes, how can I set it up?

Thanks

Hello,

At the current moment, is not supported.

If you provide a test connection string, we will try to add NTLM protocol authentication supporting. You can provide it ion support@stimulsoft.com

Thank you.
