Hi! I have some general feedback on connectors I've tested:
Both Facebook connectors as well as the Google Search Console connector are really difficult to set up and for Facebook I didn't manage to even create a long living page token in a reasonable time (The docs aren't helping either here). Coming from Hevo and Fivetran, the process feels really clunky. There should be an oAuth flow taking care of the login whereever possible instead.

Hey Andreas we have OAuth setup setup in our Airbyte Cloud product.

Also happy to understand in more detail on how we can make it easier to onboard.

Hi <@U02TNCH93U3> thanks for your reply and sorry for coming back so late. I've missed the notification. Unfortunately Airbyte Cloud is not an option for us. One reason is that we are in Europe.
One example on where it is really difficult to find information, would be the Facebook Pages connector. The docs show how to create a short-living API key, which is not at all useful as it's only valid for 60 minutes. There is a reference to the possibility to create a long-living key, but with no further information. After researching this for a while, I'm still not able to create one. As far as I understand this long-lived key can only be generated from an app that I would have to build for this sole purpose. This is probably more of a Facebook problem, but it doesn't help that the Airbyte docs just leave it at that. Do you maybe have more information on how to generate a long-living key for the Fb page connector?

Sorry to hear that Andreas. There is a project to improve our documentation to have better guides to create tokens and how configure some source connectors. I’d raised to our team your concern about the specific problem with Facebook Pages but until someone take time to investigate and improve the documentation we don’t have further info to help you
