Is it right that

get_updated_state

returned state doesn’t do anything until is using in update params in url? or it skips updating items that are under the latest state?

get_updated_state

is used by the CDK to keep track of the latest state. It is then used to save/checkpoint the state emit a STATE message as described by the Airbyte specification. Emitting a STATE message signals to Airbyte that once these records have been written to the destination, the state should be input to the connector the next time it runs. This is useful both for general incremental sync but also for resuming a failed sync. Let’s say you sync 90% of data then the connector fails, then checkpointing state. To control how state is checkpointed you can either set the

state_checkpoint_interval

property or override the

stream_slices

method for very granular control over when state is saved

thanks!
