Return config property in "List All Connections" endpoint
AnsweredHi Fivetran Team,
I would like to submit a feature request regarding the List All Connections API endpoint:
GET /v1/connections
I also previously opened a support ticket about this same topic.
Currently, the endpoint does not return the config property for each connection. To retrieve it, we must call the Connection Details endpoint individually for every connection.
For environments with many connections, this results in:
-
More API calls
-
Slower processing
-
Higher risk of rate limits
-
More complex integration logic
Feature Request:
Please consider adding an optional parameter such as:
GET /v1/connections?include_config=true
When enabled, the endpoint would return the full config object for each connection.
This would preserve the current default behavior while giving customers the option to retrieve complete metadata more efficiently.
Business Use Case:
We run automated processes that sync connection configurations. Returning config in the list response would improve performance, reduce API usage, and simplify implementation.
Thank you for your consideration.

Hi Bruno, thanks for this request. I understand that it's painful to pull the connection details separately for every connection so I've added it to our long-term backlog and will prioritize it based on overall demand. That said, supporting this performantly would require some meaningful backend changes, so I don't expect we'll get to it in the near term. For now, you'll be able to continue getting this information via the request connection details endpoint.
Best,
