BREAKING CHANGES

Authentication & Allowed host URLs

If you are using any APIs/URLs that require authentication, You will now need to specify the list of allowed Host URLs in the config. This change is introduced to allow additional security to your endpoints.

To migrate your existing datasources, add allowed URLs/allowed Hosts in the datasource configuration section. Example: If you are using https://foo.com/some/path?id=123 which require authentication, you will need to add https://foo.com in the allowed hosts list.

If your datasource is provisioned, then you have to add the following to your provisioning yaml file.

jsonData:
  allowedHosts:
    - https://foo.com

If the allowed hosts are not configured correctly, you will get Datasource is missing allowed hosts/URLs. Configure it in the datasource settings page. error when performing the query.

Learn more about this breaking change in the github discussion

Content-Type and Accept headers

The default header values for Content-Type and Accept are changing. The default value for these headers are set as follows

• For json and graphql types, the Accept will be now set to application/json;q=0.9,text/plain

• For csv query type, the Accept header will now be set to text/csv; charset=utf-8

• For xml query type, the Accept header will now be set to text/xml;q=0.9,text/plain

• For http post methods, the Content-Type header value will be set to Content-Type for json and graphql query types

You can override these headers, in settings/query headers.
