Ways to work with Airbyte

Once your Airbyte instance is up and running, there's a way to use Airbyte that's appropriate for any skill level.

User interface

Self-Managed and Cloud versions of Airbyte come with a carefully-crafted user interface that walks you through setting up connections and automating syncs. This is a great choice if you're not a developer, aren't concerned about version control, or you're just seeing what Airbyte can do for you.

API and Python SDK

These are great choices for developers who want to automate the way you work with Airbyte and use version control to preserve a history of changes.

  • Airbyte's API documentation gives you programmatic access to Airbyte with code snippets in all common languages.
  • Airbyte's Python SDK lets you programmatically control your Airbyte instance with Python.

Terraform

Many people think of Airbyte and its connectors as infrastructure. Our Terraform provider ensures you can deploy and manage sources and destinations with Terraform, the same way you manage your other infrastructure today.

PyAirbyte

If you want to use Python to move data, our Python library, PyAirbyte, might be the best fit for you. It's a good choice if you're using Jupyter Notebook or iterating on an early prototype for a large data project and don't need to run a server.

note

PyAirbyte isn't an SDK for managing Airbyte. If that's what you're looking for, use the API or Python SDK.

Contribute

Airbyte began as an open-source product. This is vital to Airbyte's vision of data movement. There are seemingly infinite data sources in the world, and only through community collaboration can we address that long tail of data sources.

If you don't see the data source you need in our collection, you can build one. Airbyte comes with no-code, low-code, and programmatic builder options. If you're interested in giving back to the community, documenting your connector and publishing it in the Marketplace will help others like you move data in the future.
