I have set up a custom auth resource and I have a variable to store the token value. Custom auth seems to work fine as it generates the token. I am trying to use this resource and make subsequent API calls using the token value. However, I cant seem to reference the variable from the app using the resource.
Hi there,
Happy to help out here and to clarify, you are attempting to access a variable you had set when setting up your API call in a Retool app, correct?
If so, the variable set there is not accessible outside the setup environment. To utilize it, you will want to place it in the above API call.
I hope this helps and let me know if you have any additional questions!
All the best,
Evan
Hi @Prashanth_Saavandi 
as Evan mentions, the variables in the resource set up cannot be referenced in the app. That said, you can set the Authorization header equal to auth_token in the resource set up and it will automatically apply to any queries that you create.
- Remove the Authorization header from your query in your app.
- Go back to the resource page and set the header like this:
- Preview the query in your app, go to the API Request tab and see your token was passed in automatically
