Scheduling
API source connectors run on a schedule rather than streaming continuously. A first run is always triggered immediately after the connector is created; subsequent runs depend on the selected mode:| Mode | Behavior | Example |
|---|---|---|
| days | Runs every N days at 00:00 UTC + offset (in minutes) | Offset 30 → every day at 00:30 UTC |
| hours | Runs every N hours at :00 + offset (in minutes) | Offset 15 → 00:15, 01:15, 02:15, … |
| minutes | Runs every N minutes, anchored on the connector creation time | Created 10:03, interval 10 → 10:13, 10:23, … |
