Is the API endpoint you’re trying to connect to an expiring access token auth or OAuth2.0? If so, you should be able to set those up as an auth instead of inputting the parameters in the URL directly! If you aren’t sure which type of auth method your endpoint is, feel free to share with us the API Docs and we’ll be happy to take a look. You can email it to help@parabola.io if you’d like.
If the variable needs to be fed in from another source (ex Google Sheets), you’ll want to use an Enrich with API step. This step currently only processes requests as GET and POST. If those methods work, in the step settings, the Variable Column name will be inputted inside curly brackets {} as such into the url: https://abc.com/rest/object/{Variable Column}?api_key=YYY
Let us know if you have any other questions!

The API endpoint I am trying to connect to is using username and password authentication. “Enrich with API” is not a solution because as you said, it supports only GET and POST requests and I am dealing with a PATCH.
Would you mind sharing with us the endpoint you’re hoping to connect to so we can take a further look? If you’d prefer, feel free to email us those docs at help@parabola.io
