Hello, in one of the recent blogposts, it was mentioned that we can now access the Airbyte API as open source users. But I don't see any change in the documentation. I want to know where and how I can access the API key (as we are required to have an airbyte cloud account)

Hello! According to the information provided, you can create an API key for Airbyte through the Airbyte's Developer Portal. This key is used to identify and authenticate yourself or your app to make requests to the API. Here are the steps to create a new API key: 1. Go to Airbyte’s Developer Portal. 2. Click on the ***API Keys*** option in the left panel. 3. Click on the button ***New Api Key***. 4. Type the name you’d like to assign to the key. 5. Once you've created the key, you can view the key value. You can copy it and save it in a file, or you can download the .key file, which will have the key value in it. Please note that you will be able to view the key only once, so make sure you store it safely. However, it's important to note that in a previous support conversation, it was mentioned that Airbyte Open Source uses basic authentication and does not support API keys. This might be a point of confusion and it's recommended to check the [API documentation](https://airbyte-public-api-docs.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/rapidoc-api-docs.html#overview) for the most accurate information. For Airbyte Cloud users, the process might be different and it's recommended to contact the sales team for more information.

@kapa.ai according to this article - https://airbyte.com/blog/airbytes-official-api-and-terraform-provider-now-in-open-source airbyte API is now available for Open source users. Can anybody from Airbyte team shed a light on this please?

I'm sorry for any confusion, but the information extracts provided do not include the specific article you mentioned (https://airbyte.com/blog/airbytes-official-api-and-terraform-provider-now-in-open-source). However, based on the available extracts, it's clear that Airbyte provides two types of APIs: the Airbyte API and the Configuration API. The Airbyte API is a reliable, easy-to-use interface for programmatically controlling the Airbyte platform and is available to all Cloud users. It enables users to control Airbyte programmatically and use it with orchestration tools like Airflow. You can learn more about it [here](https://docs.airbyte.com/api-documentation). The Configuration API, on the other hand, is an internal Airbyte API designed for communications between different Airbyte components. It's primarily used by OSS users to configure their own Self-Hosted Airbyte deployment and by the Airbyte Engineering team to configure Airbyte Cloud. However, it's important to note that Airbyte does not have active commitments to support this API long-term, and it may be modified in the future if the need arises. You can read more about it [here](https://docs.airbyte.com/api-documentation). For more specific information about the availability of the Airbyte API for Open Source users, I would recommend reaching out to the Airbyte team directly or checking their official documentation and updates.
