Instead of clicking through the UI for every connector, Airbyte offers two programmatic ways to manage sources and destinations:
•
Airbyte API – Use the REST API to create and manage sources/destinations programmatically. [

•
Terraform – Manage connectors as infrastructure-as-code using the Airbyte Terraform provider. [
Terraform docs] Tip: Speed up the process with Copy JSON You don't have to manually write out all the configuration values. You can:
1. Enter your values once in the Airbyte UI.
2. Click the
Copy JSON button.
3. Paste the resulting JSON string directly into your API call or Terraform code.
This makes it much faster to replicate connector configurations without repeating all the clicks. [

connectors are reusable. Once you set up a source connector, you can use it in as many connections as you need — no need to recreate it each time. You'd only need multiple instances of the same connector if, for example, you're pulling from multiple accounts with different credentials. [
