Hey,  
Trying to connect to an API source using OAuth 2.0 with parabola.  
Using Postman I was able to connect, but I can’t seem to figure out all the 3 urls and components needed in parabola.  
Docs are here:

Any insight?

Hey Yahav,

That style of authorization - which I don’t think would count as OAuth 2.0 - is not supported in Parabola as of now.

The closest way to support it would be with this feature request:[Merge Data into Header or Auth Field](https://community.parabola.io/t/merge-data-into-header-or-auth-field/117)
