Hello! To get started with building an AWS Cost Explorer connector using Airbyte CDK, you can follow these general steps: 1. Clone the Airbyte repository and generate an empty connector using the code generator:

cd airbyte-integrations/connector-templates/generator      ./generate.sh

Follow the interactive prompt and choose the relevant template for your connector. This will generate a new connector in the

airbyte-integrations/connectors/<your-connector>

directory ([source](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development)). 2. Search the generated directory for "TODO"s and follow them to implement your connector. You can refer to the following tutorials for more detailed walkthroughs and instructions: - [Speedrun: Building a HTTP source with the CDK](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/tutorials/cdk-speedrun) - [Building a HTTP source with the CDK](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/tutorials/cdk-tutorial-python-http/getting-started) - [Building a Python source](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/tutorials/building-a-python-source) 3. As you implement your connector, make sure to review the [Best Practices for Connector Development](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/best-practices) guide. 4. Once your connector is implemented, build the Docker image for your container by running

docker build . -t airbyte/source-<name>:<version>

([source](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/tutorials/cdk-tutorial-python-http/use-connector-in-airbyte)). 5. Follow the instructions from the [building a Python source tutorial](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/tutorials/building-a-python-source#step-11-add-the-connector-to-the-api-ui) for using the connector in the Airbyte UI, replacing the name as appropriate. Please note that the provided tutorials are for general guidance, and you'll need to adapt them to work with the AWS Cost Explorer API specifically. Good luck with your connector development!
