what is the definition_id for the airbyte_source_shortcut terraform resource?
k
I apologize, but I don't have enough information in the provided knowledge sources to definitively answer what the specific definition_id is for the airbyte_source_shortcut Terraform resource. The knowledge sources contain general information about setting up Airbyte connectors using Terraform, but they don't mention a specific definition_id for a Shortcut source. To find the correct definition_id for a Shortcut source in Airbyte, you would typically need to: 1. Use the Airbyte UI or API to list available source definitions 2. Look for the Shortcut source in that list 3. Find its associated definition_id Alternatively, you might be able to find this information in Airbyte's documentation for the Shortcut source connector, but that specific documentation is not provided in the given knowledge sources. If you need the exact definition_id, I recommend checking Airbyte's official documentation or using their API/UI to retrieve this information.

@kapa.ai how do I use the UI/API to find the definition_id?

To find the definition_id for a source using the Airbyte UI or API, you have a couple of options: 1. Using the Airbyte UI: According to the [Github issue comment](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/32744), you can find the definition_id by following these steps: a. Go to Sources > New source > Custom tab b. Click on your custom connector c. The sourceDefinitionId (which is the same as definition_id) is the UUID at the end of that page's URL 2. Using the Airbyte API: You can use the
/v1/source_definitions/list_for_workspace
endpoint to list all source definitions for a workspace. Here's how you can do it: a. Make a POST request to
/v1/source_definitions/list_for_workspace
b. In the request body, include your workspace ID c. Look for the Shortcut source in the response and find its associated definition_id Alternatively, you can use the
/v1/source_definitions/list
endpoint to list all source definitions without specifying a workspace. 3. Using Octavia CLI: As mentioned in the [Version control Airbyte configurations tutorial](https://airbyte.com/tutorials/version-control-airbyte-configurations), you can use the Octavia CLI to list connectors:
Copy code
octavia list connectors sources | grep shortcut
This command will display the connector id (definition_id) for the Shortcut source. Remember that the exact steps might vary depending on your Airbyte version and setup. If you're using a self-hosted version, make sure you're querying the correct API endpoint for your installation.

@kapa.ai The definition_id given in the terraform docs gives the following error: │ {"status":400,"type":"https://reference.airbyte.com/reference/errors#resource-not-found","title":"resource-not-found","detail":"The requested resource could not be │ found.","documentationUrl":null,"data":{"resourceType":"STANDARD_SOURCE_DEFINITION","resourceId":"2eff8de5-6504-4728-b0aa-ce290d7b3b35"}} What is the correct definition_id?

I apologize for the confusion. It seems that the definition_id provided in the Terraform documentation is not correct or may be outdated. To find the correct definition_id for the Shortcut source, we can use one of the methods I mentioned earlier. Let's use the Octavia CLI method, as it's directly referenced in the knowledge sources. According to the [Version control Airbyte configurations tutorial](https://airbyte.com/tutorials/version-control-airbyte-configurations), you can use the Octavia CLI to list connectors and find the correct definition_id. Here's how you can do it: 1. Run the following command:
Copy code
octavia list connectors sources | grep shortcut
2. This command will display the connector information for Shortcut, including the correct definition_id. If you don't have Octavia CLI set up, you can alternatively use the Airbyte UI method: 1. Go to Sources > New source > Custom tab 2. Click on the Shortcut connector 3. The sourceDefinitionId (which is the same as definition_id) is the UUID at the end of that page's URL Once you have the correct definition_id, update your Terraform configuration with the new value. If you're still encountering issues after trying these methods, I recommend reaching out to Airbyte support or checking their latest documentation, as the correct definition_id might have changed recently and may not be reflected in the current knowledge sources.

@kapa.ai I don't have Octavia and this isn't a custom connector

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. You're right, and I made an incorrect assumption about using Octavia CLI and custom connectors. Let's focus on finding the correct definition_id for the standard Shortcut source connector without using Octavia. Since you don't have Octavia and this isn't a custom connector, we can use the Airbyte UI or API to find the correct definition_id. Here's what you can do: 1. Using the Airbyte UI: As mentioned in the [Github issue comment](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/32744), you can find the definition_id by following these steps: a. Go to Sources > New source b. Find and click on the Shortcut connector c. The sourceDefinitionId (which is the same as definition_id) is the UUID at the end of that page's URL 2. Using the Airbyte API: You can use the
/v1/source_definitions/list
endpoint to list all source definitions. Here's how you can do it: a. Make a POST request to
/v1/source_definitions/list
b. In the response, look for the Shortcut source and find its associated definition_id Once you have the correct definition_id, update your Terraform configuration with the new value. If you're still encountering issues after trying these methods, I recommend checking the latest Airbyte documentation or reaching out to Airbyte support, as the correct definition_id might have changed recently and may not be reflected in the current knowledge sources or Terraform provider documentation.

@kapa.ai where exactly in the UI for the Shortcut Source can I find sourceDefinitionId?

@kapa.ai it is indeed in the URL when creating a new source. Thank you.

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help you locate the sourceDefinitionId for the Shortcut source in the Airbyte UI. It's great that you were able to find it in the URL when creating a new source, as this method is indeed one of the easiest ways to obtain this information. This approach of finding the sourceDefinitionId in the URL is particularly useful when working with Terraform or other automation tools, as it allows you to easily reference the correct identifier for your Airbyte connectors. If you have any more questions about Airbyte, its connectors, or how to use them with Terraform, please don't hesitate to ask. Good luck with your data integration project!
