airbyte-source-declarative-manifest
Base source implementation for low-code sources.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building or using Airbyte integrations and want to create sources declaratively. Install it as part of an Airbyte deployment or PyAirbyte workflow, not as a standalone library. Verify that your use case aligns with the documented scope (Docker/PyAirbyte, not yet platform-level) and that you have matching airbyte-cdk version available.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or 3.11 (not 3.12+).
- Intended for Docker or PyAirbyte environments; not yet supported as a standalone platform connector.
- Requires airbyte-cdk version matching this package version.

What it is and what it does
This package is a special Airbyte source connector that reads a declarative manifest file and dynamically creates a working data source from it, eliminating the need to write custom connector code. It acts as an interface to the Airbyte Python CDK's low-code capabilities, allowing you to define data extraction logic declaratively rather than imperatively.
The connector is designed to run in Docker or PyAirbyte environments and accepts a configuration file containing both the manifest definition and any credentials or parameters the manifest requires. It exposes standard Airbyte connector commands (spec, check, discover, read) and is versioned in lockstep with the underlying CDK—meaning you should use matching versions of both packages.
Use it for
- Define a data source from a REST API using only a manifest file, without writing Python connector code.
- Rapidly prototype new data integrations by iterating on manifest configuration rather than redeploying code.
- Run Airbyte connectors in containerized environments where you want to inject connector logic via configuration.
- Test and validate data extraction logic before committing to a full custom connector implementation.

Before you install
Low friction install with a single runtime dependency on airbyte-cdk. Active maintenance status with recent releases, though the package is explicitly tied to CDK versioning and not yet intended for platform-level standalone use.
Requires Python 3.10 or 3.11 (not 3.12+). Intended for Docker or PyAirbyte environments; not yet supported as a standalone platform connector. Requires airbyte-cdk version matching this package version.
