OData V2.0

OData enables the creation of HTTP-based data services, which allow resources identified using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) and defined in an abstract data model, to be published and edited by Web clients using simple HTTP messages.

The OData V2.0 connector works with OData V1 and V2. It connects to on-premise environments eg.SharePoint, but does not support OAuth authentication.

A sample OData Service that you can use can be found by using the following URL: https://services.odata.org/V2/OData/OData.svc

This has multiple collections that you can connect to such as Products and Suppliers.
