@kapa.ai in connection builder, how can i authenticate using two parameteres that should be injected in header api-key & guid? Default api-key auth assumes only one auth parameter.

The current authentication methods in Airbyte's Connector Builder support injecting a single parameter into the request header, such as an API key. This is done using the

ApiKeyAuthenticator

or

BearerAuthenticator

objects, which allow you to specify the API key or bearer token to be injected into the request header for authentication. However, if you need to inject two parameters into the header for authentication (like

api-key

and

guid

), this is not directly supported in the current implementation of the Connector Builder. Here's an example of how the

ApiKeyAuthenticator

is used to inject a single parameter into the header:

json {   "inject_into": "header",   "field_name": "Authorization" }

In this case, the

inject_into

field is set to

header

and the

field_name

is set to

Authorization

. The actual API key is set via the

api_token

property:

json {   "api_token": "{{ config['api_key'] }}" }

If you need to inject two parameters into the header for authentication, you might need to use the Python CDK or modify the connector code manually to support this use case. For more information, you can refer to the [Connector Builder documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/authentication#api-key) and the [Config-based YAML Reference](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/config-based/understanding-the-yaml-file/reference#/definitions/ApiKeyAuthenticator).

@kapa.ai can i extend ApiKeyAuthenticator with additional parameters directly in YAML ?

A message from kapa.ai

Based on the provided knowledge sources, it doesn't appear that you can directly extend the

ApiKeyAuthenticator

with additional parameters in the YAML file. The

ApiKeyAuthenticator

is designed to handle a single API key for authentication, which is injected into the HTTP request header. Here's an example of how the

ApiKeyAuthenticator

is used:

json authenticator:     type: "ApiKeyAuthenticator"     header: "Authorization"     api_token: "Bearer hello"

In this case, the

header

field is set to

Authorization

and the

api_token

field is set to

Bearer hello

. The

api_token

field is where you would typically insert your API key. If you need to use multiple parameters for authentication, you might need to use a different authenticator or modify the connector code manually to support this use case. For more information, you can refer to the [Connector Builder documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/authentication#api-key) and the [Config-based YAML Reference](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/config-based/understanding-the-yaml-file/reference#/definitions/ApiKeyAuthenticator).
