  When using a web API as a JSON datasource, is there a way on the server to inject authentication or session data into the HTTP request used to get the data?

  For example, my API end point for a json doc result is http://mycoolsite.app/api/payors and I want to either add an auth header with an JWT to the request or inject a url parameter so it looks like http://mycoolsite.app/api/payors?session=. Authheader with JWT would be prefered.

  Hi Jeffery,
  
  What you can do is before loading the report object just edit the connection string and add the required header in the [i]pageReport.Report.DataSources.ConnectionProperties.ConnectString property if needed.
  
  For more information on the JsonDataSource or the ConnectionString property please refer to the following links:
