Airbyte is an open-source data integration engine that helps you consolidate your data in your data warehouses, lakes and databases.

Airbyte

The current `check connection to the source(api/v1/sources/check_connection)` api requires a existing source to check, is there any other api for checking connection to a non-existing source yet, it should be the same as the one when we are developing and check a custom connector `python main.py check --config secrets/config.json` .

I wish there would be an api like below.
POST `api/v1/sources/check_connection_for_create`
```{
      "sourceDefinitionId": "uuid",
      "connectionConfiguration": {}
}```

What are you trying to achieve with this <@U031WA24BUN> can you explain more your use cae?

Our application has a UI for user to input connection configuration, we just want to validate those input before actually create a source via airbyte api.

Got it, today this is not available <@U031WA24BUN> do you mind request a new feature request in Github?

sure, <https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/11340>
