We have Matillion installed on Azure. Currently we don't have Azure Vault integrated. We are unable to use API Query/Extract component due to known issue with it. So planning to use Python component to ingest data via API. Anyone experience with this pattern? How are credentials being managed within Matillion? What is the recommendation?
