The Web API data source can now run a JavaScript pre-request script before every data stream request, so you can connect to APIs with authentication flows that don't fit standard Basic, Digest, OAuth 2.0 or JWT Bearer options.

Turn on "Pre-request script" in the Web API data source configuration to show the Secrets and script fields. The script runs once before each request, so a single configuration covers every data stream that uses the data source.

Define key-value pairs under Secrets and access them in your script via the secrets object. Click the padlock next to a value to encrypt it when stored — recommended for API keys, client secrets and authentication tokens.

Your script can read and modify the request url, headers and body before it's sent. A writable state object lets you cache values such as access tokens between requests, stored encrypted, so you can fetch a token once and refresh it only when it expires. That makes it possible to support flows like exchanging a signed token for a short-lived access token, or calculating a request signature per call.

leads this month: set any dashboard to deliver itself to Email, Teams or Slack on a recurring schedule, so your team gets the numbers pushed to them instead of having to remember to go and look. Alongside it, , and there are three new and improved plugins: , and a rebuilt plugin. Elsewhere you can filter data in fullscreen by clicking a donut segment or line series, hide whole object types to cut the noise on a map, and sign in to the plugins CLI straight from your browser. This month's plugin sweep covers AWS, CSV, Google Analytics, Microsoft Defender, SCOM, SharePoint, Web API and Zabbix. 🎉
