and check
commands in Airbyte. The spec
command is used to output the JSON configuration specification. Here's how you can use it: python docker run --rm -i <source-image-name> spec
Replace <source-image-name>
with the name of your source image. The check
command is used to check the configuration used to connect. Here's how you can use it: python docker run --rm -i <source-image-name> check --config <config-file-path>
Replace <source-image-name>
with the name of your source image and <config-file-path>
with the path to your JSON configuration file. For example, if you're working with a custom connector, you might run the check
command like this: python python main.py check --config secrets/config.json
This command checks the configuration file located at secrets/config.json
. As for the config.json
and config_catalog.json
, these are used with the read
command. Here's an example: python docker run --rm -i <source-image-name> read --config <config-file-path> --catalog <catalog-file-path>
Replace <source-image-name>
with the name of your source image, <config-file-path>
with the path to your config.json
file, and <catalog-file-path>
with the path to your config_catalog.json
file. For example, if you're working with a custom connector, you might run the read
command like this: python docker run -v $(pwd)/secrets/valid_config.json:/data/config.json -v $(pwd)/fullrefresh_configured_catalog.json:/data/fullrefresh_configured_catalog.json airbyte/source-stock-ticker-api:dev read --config /data/config.json --catalog /data/fullrefresh_configured_catalog.json
This command reads data using the configuration file located at secrets/valid_config.json
and the catalog file located at fullrefresh_configured_catalog.json
