# Overview

<Note>
  If you're new to Unstructured, read this note first.

  Before you can create a source connector, you must first sign in to your Unstructured account:

  * If you do not already have an Unstructured account, [sign up for free](https://unstructured.io/?modal=try-for-free).
    After you sign up, you are automatically signed in to your new Unstructured **Let's Go** account, at [https://platform.unstructured.io](https://platform.unstructured.io).
    To sign up for a **Business** account instead, [contact Unstructured Sales](https://unstructured.io/?modal=contact-sales), or [learn more](/api-reference/overview#pricing).
  * If you already have an Unstructured **Let's Go**, **Pay-As-You-Go**, or **Business SaaS** account and are not already signed in, sign in to your account at
    [https://platform.unstructured.io](https://platform.unstructured.io). For other types of **Business** accounts, see your Unstructured account administrator for sign-in instructions,
    or email Unstructured Support at [support@unstructured.io](mailto:support@unstructured.io).

  After you sign in, the [Unstructured user interface](/ui/overview) (UI) appears, which you use to get your Unstructured API key, as follows:

  1. After you sign in to your Unstructured **Let's Go**, **Pay-As-You-Go**, or **Business** account, click **API Keys** on the sidebar.<br />

     For a **Business** account, before you click **API Keys**, make sure you have selected the organizational workspace you want to create an API key
     for. Each API key works with one and only one organizational workspace. [Learn more](/ui/account/workspaces#create-an-api-key-for-a-workspace).

  2. Click **Generate API Key**.<br />

  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish generating the key.<br />

  4. Click the **Copy** icon next to your new key to add the key to your system's clipboard. If you lose this key, simply return and click the **Copy** icon again.<br />

  After you create the source connector, add it along with a
  [destination connector](/api-reference/workflow/destinations/overview) to a [workflow](/api-reference/workflow/overview#workflows).
  Then run the worklow as a [job](/api-reference/workflow/overview#jobs). To learn how, try out the
  the notebook [Dropbox-To-Pinecone Connector API Quickstart for Unstructured](https://colab.research.google.com/github/Unstructured-IO/notebooks/blob/main/notebooks/Dropbox_To_Pinecone_Connector_Quickstart.ipynb),
  or watch the two 4-minute video tutorials for the [Unstructured Python SDK](/api-reference/workflow/overview#unstructured-python-sdk).

  You can also create source connectors with the Unstructured user interface (UI).
  [Learn how](/ui/sources/overview).

  If you need help, email Unstructured Support at [support@unstructured.io](mailto:support@unstructured.io).

  You are now ready to start creating a source connector! Keep reading to learn how.
</Note>

To use the [Unstructured API's workflow operations](/api-reference/workflow/overview) to manage source connectors, do the following:

* To get a list of available source connectors, use the `UnstructuredClient` object's `sources.list_sources` function (for the Python SDK) or
  the `GET` method to call the `/sources` endpoint (for `curl` or Postman). [Learn more](/api-reference/workflow/overview#list-source-connectors).
* To get information about a source connector, use the `UnstructuredClient` object's `sources.get_source` function (for the Python SDK) or
  the `GET` method to call the `/sources/<connector-id>` endpoint (for `curl` or Postman). [Learn more](/api-reference/workflow/overview#get-a-source-connector).
* To create a source connector, use the `UnstructuredClient` object's `sources.create_source` function (for the Python SDK) or
  the `POST` method to call the `/sources` endpoint (for `curl` or Postman). [Learn more](/api-reference/workflow/overview#create-a-source-connector).
* To update a source connector, use the `UnstructuredClient` object's `sources.update_source` function (for the Python SDK) or
  the `PUT` method to call the `/sources/<connector-id>` endpoint (for `curl` or Postman). [Learn more](/api-reference/workflow/overview#update-a-source-connector).
* To delete a source connector, use the `UnstructuredClient` object's `sources.delete_source` function (for the Python SDK) or
  the `DELETE` method to call the `/sources/<connector-id>` endpoint (for `curl` or Postman). [Learn more](/api-reference/workflow/overview#delete-a-source-connector).

To create or update a source connector, you must also provide settings that are specific to that connector.
