Im able to access the source through web but couldnt use the API calls like described here: https://reference.airbyte.com/reference/start For example, I've tried to auth using this shell command:
Copy code

It looks like you're encountering issues with using the Airbyte API after deploying Airbyte on Kubernetes using the Helm chart version 0.49.6. Based on the information provided, here are some steps and considerations to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue: ### Steps to Troubleshoot and Resolve 1. Ensure API Access Configuration: - Make sure you have configured API access correctly. Follow the steps in the [Configuring API Access](https://docs.airbyte.com/enterprise-setup/api-access-config) documentation. - Specifically, ensure you have created an application in the Airbyte UI to get
client_id
and
client_secret
credentials. 2. Obtain an Access Token: - Use the
client_id
and
client_secret
to obtain an access token. Here is an example of how to do this:
Copy code
sh      POST <YOUR_WEBAPP_URL>/api/v1/applications/token
Ensure the following JSON body is attached to the request:
Copy code
json      { "client_id": "<your_client_id>", "client_secret": "<your_client_secret>" }
- This will provide you with an
access_token
which is a Bearer Token valid for 60 minutes. 3. Make API Requests with Bearer Token: - Use the obtained
access_token
to make API requests. For example, to list connections, you can use:
Copy code
sh      curl --location --request GET '<https://airbyte.prod.tech/api/v1/connections/>' \      --header 'Authorization: Bearer <your_access_token>'
4. Check Ingress and Network Configuration: - Ensure that your ingress configuration allows API requests to pass through correctly. - Verify that the
airbyte-server
service is exposed and accessible. 5. Review Logs for Errors: - Check the logs for any errors that might indicate what is going wrong. For example, a common issue is a
NullPointerException
related to
ConnectionSchedule
as seen in the [GitHub Issue](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/32577). ### Example of Obtaining Access Token and Making API Request 1. Obtain Access Token:
Copy code
sh    curl --location --request POST '<https://airbyte.prod.tech/api/v1/applications/token>' \    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \    --data-raw '{      "client_id": "<your_client_id>",      "client_secret": "<your_client_secret>"    }'
2. Use Access Token to Make API Request:
Copy code
sh    curl --location --request GET '<https://airbyte.prod.tech/api/v1/connections/>' \    --header 'Authorization: Bearer <your_access_token>'
### Additional Resources - [Configuring API Access](https://docs.airbyte.com/enterprise-setup/api-access-config) - [Airbyte API Reference](https://reference.airbyte.com) If you continue to face issues, please provide more details about the errors you are encountering, and we can further assist you.

@kapa.ai When running that:
Copy code
curl --location --request POST '<https://airbyte.prod.tech/api/v1/applications/token>' \
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --data-raw '{
     "client_id": "<your_client_id>",
     "client_secret": "<your_client_secret>"
   }'
I still gets an error: Object not found.

It looks like you're encountering a "404 Object not found" error when trying to obtain an access token for the Airbyte API. This error typically indicates that the endpoint you're trying to reach is not found or does not exist. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. Verify the URL: Ensure that the URL you are using is correct. The placeholder
<YOUR_WEBAPP_URL>
should be replaced with the actual URL you use to access the Airbyte UI. For example, if your Airbyte instance is hosted at
<https://airbyte.example.com>
, the URL should be
<https://airbyte.example.com/api/v1/applications/token>
. 2. Check Deployment: Make sure that your Airbyte Self-Managed Enterprise deployment is up and running and that it exposes the
airbyte-server
service. You can follow the steps in the [implementation guide](https://docs.airbyte.com/enterprise-setup/implementation-guide) to ensure your deployment is correctly configured. 3. Correct JSON Body: Ensure that the JSON body in your request is correctly formatted and contains the correct
client_id
and
client_secret
values. Here is an example of how the request should look:
Copy code
bash     curl --location --request POST 'https://<YOUR_WEBAPP_URL>/api/v1/applications/token' \     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \     --data-raw '{       "client_id": "<your_client_id>",       "client_secret": "<your_client_secret>"     }'
4. Application Keys: Ensure that you have created an application in the Airbyte UI to get the
client_id
and
client_secret
credentials. These credentials are necessary to obtain the access token. You can create an application by going to the
settings/applications
page in the Airbyte UI. If you have verified all the above steps and are still encountering the error, it might be helpful to check the Airbyte server logs for more detailed error messages that could provide additional insights. For more detailed instructions on configuring API access, you can refer to the [Configuring API Access](https://docs.airbyte.com/enterprise-setup/api-access-config) documentation. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the Airbyte community or support for further assistance.

It seems like i dont have that section
settings/applications
within my application at all! Any reason for that? @kapa.ai
k
A message from kapa.ai
It appears that you are missing the
settings/applications
section in your Airbyte UI, which is necessary for creating application keys to access the API. This issue could be related to the version of Airbyte you are using or the specific deployment configuration. Based on the information from the knowledge sources, here are a few potential reasons and solutions: 1. Version Issue: If you are using an OSS (Open Source Software) version of Airbyte, certain features, including the
settings/applications
section, might not be available. The API access configuration is typically available in the Self-Managed Enterprise version of Airbyte. - Source: [Configuring API Access](https://docs.airbyte.com/enterprise-setup/api-access-config) 2. Permissions Issue: There might be a permissions issue that is preventing the
settings/applications
section from being displayed. This could be related to recent changes in the permissions code. - Source: [Github Issue #32074](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/32074) 3. Upgrade Path: If you have recently upgraded your Airbyte instance, there might be a regression or a missing feature in the new version. For example, users have reported missing settings pages after upgrading to certain versions. - Source: [Github Issue #32074](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/32074) ### Steps to Troubleshoot 1. Check Version: Verify the version of Airbyte you are using. If you are using an OSS version, consider upgrading to the Self-Managed Enterprise version if you need the API access features. 2. Check Permissions: Open your browser's developer tools and check the network requests, especially the request to
/api/v1/permissions/list_by_user
. This can help identify if there are any permission-related issues. 3. Review Logs: Check the Airbyte server logs for any error messages or warnings that might indicate why the
settings/applications
section is missing. 4. Community and Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the Airbyte community or support for further assistance. They might be able to provide more specific guidance based on your deployment configuration and version. If you need more detailed instructions or further assistance, you can refer to the [Configuring API Access](https://docs.airbyte.com/enterprise-setup/api-access-config) documentation or the relevant [Github Issues](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/32074) for more context.

Hey @Tal Nidam, did you ever resolve this issue? Facing the same thing myself. Deploying Airbyte to K8s using helm, but unable to use the api endpoints on reference.airbyte.com, token endpoint returns "Object not found.", and no "applications" section in the settings 😔 Works fine when installed locally with
abctl
t
@Thomas Lynch Actually Yes i did solve it. Please try use the endpoints displayed below, it seems like the airbyte doc isn't updated! https://airbyte-public-api-docs.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/rapidoc-api-docs.html#overview If you have any issues, just try add the prefix "api/v1/....."

Cheers Tal, appreciate the reply. We were using those api routes, the issue turned out to be with name of the service account used to access the airbyte-auth-secret resulting in a permissions error. Resolved that and apis started working 🙂
