Hey we have set of documentation around CDK here https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/cdk-python/

I have published a tutorial called Build a connector to extract data from the Webflow API , that goes into detail about the development of a custom Airbyte connector. Interesting topics that are discussed include:

  • Manually interacting with HTTP APIs.
  • The design of an Airbyte (Python) source connector using the CDK.
  • Dynamic stream creation and automatic schema extraction.
  • How to build a new source connector from scratch – using the Webflow source connector implementation as an example.

The Webflow connector that is presented is used at Airbyte to extract data from Webflow (our CMS) and drive it into BigQuery to improve our analytics capabilities.

If you are interested in writing your own code to extract data from APIs, you will likely find the tutorial to be helpful.
