This datasource can work out of the box without any additional configuration. If you need the URL to be authenticated or pass additional headers/query/tls/timeout settings, configure the corresponding section.

  • Configuration will be applied to all the queries. If you need different configuration for different queries, create separate instance of infinity datasource

  • If you configure the URL in the settings, the same will be prefixed along with all your queries.

If you specify the URL as https://example.com/path in your datasource config and /my-endpoint as your url in the query, then the final URL will be https://example.com/path/my-endpoint

More details about the URL and related settings can be found in url page
