This page describes the setup guide and reference information for the XKCD source connector.

Prerequisites​

XKCD provides a public JSON API. You don't need credentials to set up this source.

Setup guide​

  1. Add a new XKCD source.
  2. For Comic Number, enter the first comic number to replicate. The connector starts with this comic and requests each following comic until no more comic metadata is available.

Supported sync modes​

The XKCD source connector supports full refresh syncs. Incremental syncs aren't supported.

Supported streams​

The connector syncs one stream:

StreamDescription
xkcdComic metadata from the XKCD JSON API, including comic number, title, post date, image URL, transcript, and alt text.

Performance considerations​

The connector sends one request for each comic it reads, starting with the configured comic number. Larger backfills require more requests.

IP allow list​

If you use Airbyte Cloud and your organization restricts access to specific IPs, add the Airbyte Cloud IP addresses to your allow list.

Reference​

This connector uses the XKCD JSON API. Requests use the https://xkcd.com endpoint.

For programmatic configuration, use this parameter name:

FieldRequiredDescription
comic_numberNoFirst comic number to replicate. Defaults to 2960.
