Does it possible to use the API to get status and trigger a Sync job?

To trigger a sync job <https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/docs/api/index.html#syncConnection|link>
To see the status of a sync job <https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/docs/api/index.html#getJobInfo|link>

full disclosure, i am not aware of anyone using our API directly, so you might be treading new territory. we are happy to help if you run into rough edges!

the UI is powered by the API, so the API definitely works. but there are always gotchas when you're interacting with an API (and their docs) directly.
