    For Restful

    1. Detect or allow to manually select response data types, JSON, CSV, XML or SBDF.
    2. Authentication: windows, token, user name and password, maybe also SAML
    3. Allow query parameters and query headers
    4. Key generation ID (optional)
    5. Method GET or POST
    6. Cacheable

     

    For OData:

    1. full v4 support would be ideal.
    2. That includes filters, groupings etc.
    3. Read metadata (recommend relations)

     

    In short make it robust. Check MS Excel connectors
