Hi John,

For the API header, you can make it work in one of 3 ways:

(1) Define the header in the swagger for every operation. This will mean the end user provide the info in every API call.
(2) Use the "Set header" policy in your connector, and use a hard-code a static value there. Works well if you plan to deploy the connector for a limited environment and you dont want to bother the end user to provide this value.
(3) Add a connection paremter, and then use the "Set header" policy to stamp the header picking the value from the connection parameter. See the Azure Key Vault example for how to use a connection parameter.

You can also do (1) and (2) by making the header parameter. That way, if the key is not provided a default will be used. One of the customers I spoke to yesterday used that approach.

It will be great if you can submit your custom connector as a sample.

@johnnliu sounds similar to how the Harvest API works, I used option 1 suggested by @schabungbam in my connector as the Harvest API requires the Harvest Account Id with every request.
