How to pass additional data from Flexmonster to custom server API

Closed
Mark Spicer asked on June 30, 2020

We are constructing a custom data source API server and we need to pass additional data from Flexmonster to our API when data is being requested. The additional data includes a user id and some configuration settings from within our client web application. We need these extra pieces of information in our API to apply additional processing and query filtering when fetching the requested data (from a Postgres database).
My question is how can we incorporate additional information into the flexmonster POST requests?
Many thanks.
Mark

Hello Illia
That is exactly what I was looking for, perfect!
I guess I should have found that myself in the docs, my apologies for wasting your time, but thank you very much.
