Hi. I need some help. I'm new to py and airbyte, I'm trying to create a custom connector with SDK. I'm working with an endpoin that the authentication process require one POST request with plain username and password and returns a json with a token. And on the next requests i need to add in header the field 'authorization: JWT {token}'. What is the best way to do this? Do I need to create new classes for this auth worflow?

A message from kapa.ai

In the custom authenticator class, in order to make the POST request, do i use the requests library or is there any class in airbyte to make the post?

It’s python code so can use whatever you like. requests has a big community and is easy to use so it is a good pick.

instantiate the custom authenticator with the required credentials and pass it to your stream” where should i add this?

At some point in your code, you will have to instantiate the new Authenticator class you have created. At that point, you’ll have to provide the username/password to this class. Eventually, you might want to make it accessible through the spec like MSSQL does
