+#### API connection credentials provider
+
+Starting from Drill 1.20.0, it is possible to use [Credentials
Provider](https://github.com/apache/drill/blob/master/docs/dev/PluginCredentialsProvider.md#plugin-credentials-provider)
for specifying
+API connection credentials.
+
+`credentialsProvider` property should be used to configure credentials
provider, similar to the way
+how it is used for storage plugins:
+
+```json
+{
+ "credentialsProvider": {
+ "credentialsProviderType": "PlainCredentialsProvider",
+ "credentials": {
+ "username": "user1",
+ "password": "user1Pass"
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+It is possible to use any available credential provider type for API
connections, including custom implementations.
+Please refer to [Developer
notes](https://github.com/apache/drill/blob/master/docs/dev/PluginCredentialsProvider.md#developer-notes)
+for more details for creating custom credential provider implementations
without changing Drill's code.
