Adding a REST datasource

First, we must add a new REST API connection and set up some basic configuration.

  1. Click the “+” button, in the Data section.

  2. Give your datasource a name - this is how it will appear in Budibase. I called mine “GitHub”.

  3. Set the URL to https://api.github.com. All requests made through this connector will be prepended with this URL.

  4. Add a new “Default Header” for “Authorization”, with the value “token your-token” (replace “your-token” with your GitHub personal access token. All requests made through this connection will include this header.

  5. Click Save
