Hello ! I just launched Airbyte on my local desktop, it is great ! 👻 I saw in the doc that there is a REST API source but I can't find it on the app 😞

Hi Nico! This is my fault. I pulled it out temporarily because I wanted to apply a couple patches that were making it hard to use!
I can probably get it set back up tomorrow if this is blocking you from trying us out.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello Charles, I am trying to put in place a light open source data platform with ETL+DWH+DataViz (Link to my repo). For the ETL, I temporarily included Meltano in my stack. I have a GitHub branch waiting for you to release the REST API Connector + DBT Integration 🤩.

Hi Nico! I got around to working on this today. I have a PR up for it: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/pull/1103. I will let you know when it is merged and released. If there is not much feedback on the PR, I'll merge it as soon as it is reviewed. If there's a lot of feedback I probably won't be able to merge it until monday.

Hey Charles, thank you for your feedback, I can't wait !

I have adde this connector back into the code base. it is now called "http request" instead of "rest api". It is only available in the dev version of the application. you can see how to use that here. I will add it to an official release on monday.
Hopefully this can unblock you so that you can test it out.
