REST API USE

Are you trying to import data into OneStream using an api call? or export data out of OneStream?

Here is a connector BR we used to import from workday. You can use this as a starting point/reference and build your BR and use this connector BR in a DataSource. Original code provided by OneStream (courtesy Joakim Kulan)
