Issue with authenticating custom data source plugins

Hi Team,

I am building a Datasource plugin that actually pulls data from an external API and this must authenticate using OAuth.
I have been trying to use the" Enable token authentication" method. For some reason, the grafana is not able to pull the access_token.

Here is what the log tells :

Can someone please help me understand what exactly the issue is?

I have tested with other API’s which uses oAuth and works perfectly fine, I am looking to troubleshoot this further and find the cause before i reach out to our dev team.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay–how is this going? Can you provide any more information?
