report.onBeginProcessData = function (args) {
    if (
        args.database === "JSON" && 
        args.command === "GetData" && 
        args.pathData && args.pathData.endsWith("/ProtectedDemo.json")
    ) {
        // Add custom header to pass through server protection
        args.headers.push({key: "X-Auth-Token", value: "*YOUR TOKEN*"});
