# Connectors

> Connect FlexOrch to S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob.

Connectors let FlexOrch ingest documents directly from cloud storage — no manual upload required.

## Supported connectors

| Connector                                                | Type         |
| -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ |
| [Amazon S3](/connectors/amazon-s3)                       | `s3`         |
| [Google Cloud Storage](/connectors/google-cloud-storage) | `gcs`        |
| [Azure Blob Storage](/connectors/azure-blob)             | `azure_blob` |

## Create a connector

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.flexorch.com/v1/connectors \
  -H "X-API-KEY: dfx_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "s3",
    "name": "production-docs",
    "config": {
      "bucket": "my-documents",
      "region": "us-east-1",
      "aws_access_key_id": "AKIA...",
      "aws_secret_access_key": "..."
    }
  }'
```

## Test a connector

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.flexorch.com/v1/connectors/{id}/test \
  -H "X-API-KEY: dfx_your_key_here"
```

## Use a connector

Pass `source.connector_id` in an upload request:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.flexorch.com/v1/data-process/async \
  -H "X-API-KEY: dfx_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"source": {"connector_id": 1, "keys": ["folder/file.pdf"]}}'
```

Connectors can also be used with [Scheduled Sync](/scheduler/overview) to process new files automatically.
