    Here's a sample on the initial connection using Quandl

    var res = httprequest.get('https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/USTREASURY/YIELD?api_key=' + metadata.account.apikey)

    DOMO.log('res: ' + res);

    if(res.indexOf('Treasury') > 0){
    auth.authenticationSuccess();
    }
    else{
    auth.authenticationFailed('Error connecting to historical treasury data')
    }

    The if indexOf Tresury is just checking to see if that word is returned, indicating a successful connection.

     

    Best of luck,
