Using low code UI builder, how can I iterate over many different account_id to call a given API endpoint?

To iterate over many different
account_id
to call a given API endpoint using the low-code UI builder, you would need to use the concept of nested streams or substreams. This concept is useful when you need to make requests to an endpoint using a list of IDs obtained from another endpoint. Here's a high-level process: 1. Define your parent stream that fetches the list of
account_id
. 2. Define a substream that uses the
account_id
from the parent stream to make requests to the desired endpoint. In the low-code UI builder, you would define these streams in the YAML file that describes the features and functionality of your connector. You can iterate on this YAML file via the [connector builder UI](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/overview) which makes it easy to inspect and debug your connector. Unfortunately, the exact implementation details on how to do this in the low-code UI builder are not provided in the knowledge sources. However, an example of how to implement this using the Python CDK is provided in a [forum post](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/1069) on the Airbyte community forum. The support agent suggests using the
SubHttpStream
class in the Python CDK and provides a link to an example implementation. Please note that while this example is not directly applicable to the low-code UI builder, it might give you an idea of how to structure your streams. If you need more specific guidance on how to implement this in the low-code UI builder, I would recommend reaching out to the Airbyte community on their [forum](https://discuss.airbyte.io/) or [GitHub](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte) for further assistance.

how can I simply iterate over a list of values ?

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, there isn't a specific example of iterating over a list of values in the context of Airbyte. However, there are mentions of iteration in the context of handling data streams and paginating through API responses. For instance, in the [Github issue](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/20959) related to the Close.com connector, it's suggested to iterate through a long list of results by updating the query to return fewer results. This is done by using a specific field (like
date_created
) to limit the number of results returned. In the [forum post](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/4220) about creating a low code custom connector, the user is trying to iterate over all pages of an API response using a paginator defined in a YAML file. If you're looking for a general Python example of iterating over a list of values, it would look something like this:
Copy code
python values = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'] for value in values:     print(value)
This will print each value in the list, one at a time. However, please note that this is a general Python example and may not directly apply to your use case with Airbyte. For more specific guidance, you may want to refer to the Airbyte documentation or ask for help in the Airbyte community forum.
