@kapa.ai how can i use Airbyte API to update the frequency

To update the sync frequency using the Airbyte API, you can follow these steps: 1. Use the Airbyte API endpoint for updating connections. While there isn't a specific document detailing this process, we can infer from the available information that you'll need to use the API to modify the connection configuration. 2. According to the [Airbyte API documentation](https://airbyte-public-api-docs.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/rapidoc-api-docs.html#tag--workspace), you can leverage the API to update connection settings. 3. You'll need to send a request to update the connection configuration, setting the scheduling to your desired frequency. For example, if you want to set a weekly sync, you could set it to 7 days. 4. Alternatively, if you need a custom schedule that's not available through the standard UI (which is limited to 24 hours max), you can disable the scheduling in Airbyte and use your own external scheduling system. As mentioned in a forum post, you can [trigger syncs manually using a cron job and the Airbyte API](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/379):
Copy code
0 0 * * 0 curl -X POST <http://localhost:8000/api/v1/connections/sync>  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"connectionId": "<your-connection-id>"}'
This example shows how to trigger a sync weekly using a cron job. 5. Remember to replace
<your-connection-id>
with the actual ID of your connection. Please note that the exact API call for updating the frequency isn't provided in the given knowledge sources. You may need to refer to the latest Airbyte API documentation for the specific endpoint and payload structure to update the connection frequency.
