Problems in the "Quickstart > Set up a Connection" section of the documentation

[akmanidisd]

The "Quickstart > Set up a Connection" has to be corrected.

Set up a Connection

Source "Exchange Rates Api" has problems:

1. The default currency can't be changed for the free account. We have to accept the default base currency. In Europe it is EUR.
2. The source name has to be exchange_rates instead of exchange_rate.

Check the data of your first sync

cat /tmp/airbyte_local/json_data/_airbyte_raw_exchange_rate.jsonl

# changed 
# _airbyte_raw_exchange_rate.jsonl -> _airbyte_raw_exchange_rates.jsonl
 
cat /tmp/airbyte_local/json_data/_airbyte_raw_exchange_rates.jsonl

and

cat /tmp/airbyte_local/test_json/_airbyte_raw_exchange_rate.jsonl | jq -c '.data | {date: .date, EUR: .EUR }'

# changes: 
# 1) test_json -> json_data
# 2) _airbyte_raw_exchange_rate.jsonl -> _airbyte_raw_exchange_rates.jsonl
# 3) .data -> ._airbyte_data
# 4) {date: .date, EUR: .EUR } ->  {date: .date, base: .base, GBP: .rates.GBP}

cat /tmp/airbyte_local/json_data/_airbyte_raw_exchange_rates.jsonl | jq -c '._airbyte_data | {date: .date, base: .base, GBP: .rates.GBP}'
