Hi,
To connect to the REST API using Session ID, I would create two [JSON](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/7.0/vdp/administration/creating_data_sources_and_base_views/json_sources/json_sources#json-sources) Data sources/Base views such that I would use the first datasource for 'login' and other one for retrieving the 'data'.
* On successful login, the view will return the **Session_key** as one of the output field.
* The second data source should be configured to have an **HTTP header** like **‘Authorization = @Sessionkey’**. This way the base view will have a mandatory input parameter (Sessionkey).
* Finally, third view (from the second Datasource) for performing a [NESTED join](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/7.0/vdp/administration/creating_derived_views/creating_join_views/creating_join_views#creating-join-views) between the aforementioned views using ‘Sessionkey = Session_key’ as join condition.
Thus, when a user executes this join view, it will fetch the session_key from the left side of the join and then, once done, it will get the data from the second view.
You can have a look at the [HTTP Path](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/7.0/vdp/administration/creating_data_sources_and_base_views/path_types_in_virtual_dataport/http_path#http-path) section of Virtual DataPort Administration Guide for more details.
Hope this helps!
