+The connector and sync jobs APIs provide a convenient way to create and manage Elastic {enterprise-search-ref}/connectors.html[connectors^] and sync jobs in an internal index.
|
|
|

|
|
|
+Connectors are third-party {es} integrations which can be deployed on {ecloud} or hosted on your own infrastructure:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* *Native connectors* are a managed service on {ecloud}
|
|
|
+* *Connector clients* are self-managed on your infrastructure
|
|
|

|
|
|
+Find a list of all supported service types in the {enterprise-search-ref}/connectors.html[connectors documentation^].

This API provides an alternative to relying solely on {kib} UI for connector and sync job management. The API comes with a set of
|
|
|
validations and assertions to ensure that the state representation in the internal index remains valid.
