    Note

    • You can find the Password from QDS (Control Panel > My Accounts > click Show under the API Token column and copy it). To know more, see Managing Your Accounts.
    • EndPoint: Mention the EndPoint based on the region where you have the Qubole account. For more information, see Supported Qubole Endpoints on Different Cloud Providers. The EndPoint doesn’t require suffixes such as /api/xxx. For example, the EndPoint can be https://in.qubole.com.
