## Example code

```python theme={null}
from mage_ai.services.airbyte import Airbyte


client = Airbyte(
    api_version='v1',
    host='host.docker.internal',
    password='password',
    port=8000,
    use_ssl=False,
    username='airbyte',
)
job = client.run_sync('7a749f2f-74b4-492e-9d13-30a3f390d111', poll_interval=2)
```

Sample result:

```json theme={null}
{
  "connection_id": "7a749f2f-74b4-492e-9d13-30a3f390d111",
  "connection_status": "active",
  "job": {
    "id": 9,
    "configType": "sync",
    "configId": "7a749f2f-74b4-492e-9d13-30a3f390d111",
    "createdAt": 1671909838,
    "updatedAt": 1671909843,
    "status": "succeeded"
  }
}
```

## Example data loader

You can either explicitly hard code the `connection_id` in the data loader block
or you can add the value of the `connection_id`
as a [runtime variable](/getting-started/runtime-variable#creating-runtime-variables-in-editor).

```python theme={null}
from mage_ai.services.airbyte import Airbyte


@data_loader
def load_data(*args, **kwargs):
    connection_id = kwargs['connection_id']
    client = Airbyte(
        host='host.docker.internal',
        password='password',
        username='airbyte',
    )
    job = client.run_sync(connection_id, poll_interval=2)

    return job
```
