Kafka Connect REST API

aid: confluent-the-data-streaming-platform:connect-rest-api
name: Kafka Connect REST API
description: The Kafka Connect REST API manages connectors, tasks, and worker configuration. Operators
  use it to deploy, configure, pause, resume, and delete source and sink connectors, inspect task status,
  and restart failed tasks. In Confluent Cloud, managed connectors are provisioned through the Cloud REST
  API while runtime status is exposed via the Connect REST surface.
