# Connector APIs
In 8.12 we introduced a set of APIs to create and manage Elastic connectors and sync jobs. Learn more in the Elasticsearch REST API documentation:
- [Connector APIs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/group/endpoint-connector)
- [Sync job APIs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/group/endpoint-connector#sync-job-apis)

<admonition title="Connector API tutorial">
  Check out this concrete [tutorial](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/reference/search-connectors/api-tutorial) to get started with the Connector APIs.

## Command-line interface

We also provide a command-line interface. Learn more in the [`elastic/connectors` repo](https://github.com/elastic/connectors/blob/main/docs/CLI.md).
Use these tools if you’d like to work with connectors and sync jobs programmatically, without using the UI.
