Going through Admin -> Connections, we have the ability to create/modify a connection's params, but I'm wondering if I can do the same through API so I can programmatically set the connections
airflow.models.Connection seems like it only deals with actually connecting to the instance instead of saving it to the list. It seems like a function that should have been implemented, but I'm not sure where I can find the docs for this specific function.
Connection is actually a model which you can use to query and insert a new connection
from airflow import settings
from airflow.models import Connection
conn = Connection(
conn_id=conn_id,
conn_type=conn_type,
host=host,
login=login,
password=password,
port=port
) #create a connection object
session = settings.Session() # get the session
session.add(conn)
session.commit() # it will insert the connection object programmatically.
You can also add, delete, and list connections from the Airflow CLI if you need to do it outside of Python/Airflow code, via bash, in a Dockerfile, etc.
airflow connections --add ...
Usage:
airflow connections [-h] [-l] [-a] [-d] [--conn_id CONN_ID]
[--conn_uri CONN_URI] [--conn_extra CONN_EXTRA]
[--conn_type CONN_TYPE] [--conn_host CONN_HOST]
[--conn_login CONN_LOGIN] [--conn_password CONN_PASSWORD]
[--conn_schema CONN_SCHEMA] [--conn_port CONN_PORT]

It doesn't look like the CLI currently supports modifying an existing connection, but there is a Jira issue for it with an active open PR on GitHub.
