I am creating connections via the API, and while the API call succeeds, the streams do not show up as enabled in airbyte, and I cannot figure out how to turn on normalization via the API. Is this an issue specific to my source (
Sentry
) or is this capability missing from the API in general?

I cannot figure out how to turn on normalization via the API
Today you cannot set Normalization settings while creating new connections through the Airbyte API. This will be added this year. In the meantime, a workaround exists. You can specify operators for connections - after these connections are created. It will require a second API request. 2nd API request: Use your existing Airbyte API token to make a request to cloud.airbyte.com/api/v1/web_backend/connections/update to edit the operators on a connection.

the streams do not show up as enabled in airbyte,
This is a bug, with a fix being deployed within the next few hours 🙂

Okay this is helpful, thank you @Riley Brook (Airbyte). 2 API calls are not a problem, I would just like to be able to create the conenction (and have it start syncing!) programmatically
Can you update with when the active stream bugs is fixed, thank you!

@Taly Kanfi (Anomalo) can you retry your requests and confirm that streams are showing when you create or update connections?

I was able to get this to work over the weekend and create connections, thank you!

Perfect, thanks!
