## Data Source API

Data Source API
Follow the mentioned steps to test the Data Source API :

**Step 1:** Select the `Source Type` as `API`.

**Step 2:** Enter the `Source Name`:

- Search the source name from the list of APIs available in the catalog.
- Navigate through the marketplace to select the required API from the `Marketplace` option.
- Directly add APIs added to the cart in the marketplace through `Add from Cart.`
- Create a new source in case the required API is not present in the above options.

**Step 3:** Enter the `Business Object`:

- Choose from the list of existing business objects.
- For a newly created source API, enter the name of the business object manually.

**Step 4:** Enter the URL and Predefined Fields:

- For APIs added from the catalog, the URL and predefined fields will pre-populate
- For new APIs, manually add the required details in the designated spaces.
- For newly added APIs, select the authorization method from `No Auth`, `Basic Auth`, and `OAuth 2.0` and enter the credentials as per the chosen authorization method and add other details such as `Headers`, `Body` and `Pre-request Script` as per requirement.
