Hi all, I am new to Airbyte and came across it when looking for hactoberfest issues. The good first issues are all taken by others but there are some issues still available, so was thinking to take it up but I don't know if I would able to even start it correctly. What are the requirements for making a connection? Are the docs and video tutorial enough for a first timer?

Hey there, welcome to Airbyte! If you don't find an existing issue for the connector you're interested in building, you are welcome to create an issue for it 🙂 We also keep track of popular requests, if there's an API on this list you're already familiar with that could make things easier! https://airbyte.com/connector-requests Since it's your first connector my personal advice would be to choose an HTTP API that isn't too complicated, ideally one you're familiar with or at least for a service you've used before. Having some understanding of what you need to send a request is half the battle. The docs and

video tutorial

are solid, you will also want to reference the provided sample low-code connectors to get an idea of how completed connectors can look. When you have questions feel free to post here, in the Hacktoberfest channel, or on our discussion forum. Also, there is an offer in the hacktoberfest channel for pairing sessions with Airbyte engineers to get your connector up and running in case you want live assistance 😄 Just to note, our low-code framework is currently in alpha so you may run into bugs or other issues depending on how your implementation goes. Keep this in mind and speak up if you are stuck! We are currently still offering a $500 reward for connectors created with the Python CDK, so if you would prefer to use it there are tons of tutorials and example connectors to reference.
