@kapa.ai Give me example of how to use spec, check commands. Also, how to use config.json and config_catalog.json

Sure, I can provide examples of how to use the
spec
and
check
commands in Airbyte. The
spec
command is used to output the JSON configuration specification. Here's how you can use it:
Copy code
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:
Copy code
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:
Copy code
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:
Copy code
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:
Copy code
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
.
