Custom or New Connector

If you'd like to ask for a new connector, you can request it directly here.

If you'd like to build new connectors and make them part of the pool of pre-built connectors on Airbyte, first a big thank you. We invite you to check our contributing guide on building connectors.

If you'd like to build new connectors, or update existing ones, for your own usage, without contributing to the Airbyte codebase, read along.

Developing your own connector

It's easy to build your own connectors for Airbyte. You can learn how to build new connectors using either our Connector Builder or our connector CDKs here.

While the guides in the link above are specific to the languages used most frequently to write integrations, Airbyte connectors can be written in any language. Please reach out to us if you'd like help developing connectors in other languages.

caution

If you don't use one of the official development options, remember to set the AIRBYTE_ENTRYPOINT environment variable to your Docker image's entrypoint! Otherwise, your connector will not run correctly.

Upgrading a connector

To upgrade your connector version, go to the Settings in the left hand side of the UI and navigate to either Sources or Destinations. Find your connector in the list, and input the latest connector version.
