# Airbyte Cloud

To create API credentials and connect Airbyte Cloud to Paradime, you will need Account Administrator access. See also the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/).

### Generate API Credentials

Airbyte Cloud allows you to create multiple applications with separate client credentials. Each application can have its own client ID and secret for different integrations.

#### Prerequisites

Before generating API credentials, ensure you have:

* An active Airbyte Cloud workspace
* Account Administrator or workspace owner permissions in Airbyte

#### Steps to Generate Client ID and Secret

1. Log in to your Airbyte Cloud workspace as a user with Account Administrator or workspace owner role.
2. Navigate to **Settings** by clicking the gear icon in the bottom left corner of your screen.
3. Select the **Applications** tab from the settings menu.
4. Click the **Create New Application** button.
5. Enter a name for your application (e.g., "Paradime Integration") and click **Create**.
6. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** from the application details page. Store these securely as we will need them to set up the Paradime integration. **Important:** The Client Secret will only be displayed once. Make sure to copy and store it in a secure location before closing this dialog.

### Connect the Airbyte Integration

The Airbyte Cloud integration can be connected by a Paradime Admin user. To enable the integration, you will need to set your Airbyte credentials as [environment variables](/products/settings/environment-variables/bolt-schedule-env-variables) in Paradime before connecting the integration.

#### Steps to Connect

1. In Paradime, go to **Account Settings** > **Environment Variables**.
2. Create two new environment variables with the following names and values:
   * `AIRBYTE_CLIENT_ID` - Set this to your Airbyte Cloud Client ID
   * `AIRBYTE_CLIENT_SECRET` - Set this to your Airbyte Cloud Client Secret
3. Click **Save** to store the environment variables.

### Authentication Parameters

Paradime reads your Airbyte credentials from the following environment variables:

| Environment Variable    | Type              | Required | Information                                                     |
| ----------------------- | ----------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| AIRBYTE\_CLIENT\_ID     | string            | Yes      | The client ID generated from your Airbyte Cloud application     |
| AIRBYTE\_CLIENT\_SECRET | string (password) | Yes      | The client secret generated from your Airbyte Cloud application |

Make sure these environment variables are set in your [Paradime Account Settings > Environment Variables](/products/settings/environment-variables/bolt-schedule-env-variables) before attempting to connect the Airbyte integration.

### Airbyte Integration Capabilities

Paradime uses the Airbyte Cloud API to trigger [Airbyte syncs](/products/bolt/creating-schedules/command-settings/airbyte-connector-sync) from [Bolt](/products/bolt/creating-schedules/command-settings/airbyte-connector-sync). This allows you to orchestrate your Airbyte data pipelines as part of your Paradime workflows, enabling:

* Triggering Airbyte connections on-demand from Bolt
* Monitoring sync status and job execution
* Integrating Airbyte syncs into larger data orchestration workflows
* Error handling and retry logic for failed syncs
