# Overview

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

  Before you can create a source connector, you must first [sign up for Unstructured](https://platform.unstructured.io) and get your
  Unstructured API key. After you sign up, the [Unstructured user interface](/ui/overview) (UI) appears, which you use to get the key.
  To learn how, watch this 40-second [how-to video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FucugLkYB6M).

  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
  [hands-on Workflow Endpoint quickstart](/api-reference/workflow/overview#quickstart),
  go directly to the [quickstart notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/13f5C9WtUvIPjwJzxyOR3pNJ9K9vnF4ww),
  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, reach out to the [community](https://short.unstructured.io/pzw05l7) on Slack, or
  [contact us](https://unstructured.io/contact) directly.

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

To use the [Unstructured Workflow Endpoint](/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.
