@kapa.ai when i create source from airbyte ui its fine but when i use api i get secret not found and in database the payload is empty

Based on the knowledge sources provided, it seems like you might be encountering an issue similar to the one reported in [this Github issue](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/36442). The user in this issue was trying to use the GCP secret manager with Airbyte and encountered a

Secret Payload cannot be empty

error. However, without more specific details about your setup and the exact error message you're encountering, it's hard to provide a definitive solution. Here are a few things you could check: 1. Make sure you're providing all the required parameters in your API request. According to the [Airbyte Public API documentation](https://reference.airbyte.com/reference/start), the

createSource

endpoint requires a

name

,

workspaceId

, and

configuration

in the request body. 2. If you're using OAuth for your source, make sure you've correctly initiated the OAuth process and obtained the necessary credentials. There's a reported issue where the

google-drive

source type was not found when trying to initiate OAuth via the API ([source](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/37321)). 3. If you're using a secret manager like GCP, ensure that the secret exists and that Airbyte has the necessary permissions to access it. If none of these suggestions help, I recommend creating a new issue in the [Airbyte Github repository](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues) with detailed information about your setup and the error you're encountering. The Airbyte team or community might be able to provide more specific assistance.
