Hi all! First thanks for the awesome project Meltano! And here comes my first question 😄 My goal is to use plugin inheritance to extract data from many shopify stores. Is it possible to add new plugin configurations in a programmatic way to the meltano.yml after its deployed? Has Meltano an api to add/change plugin configuration? Many thanks!

Welcome @delbert_friesen!
Is it possible to add new plugin configurations in a programmatic way to the meltano.yml after its deployed?
You can use environment variables to override plugin configuration at runtime: https://docs.meltano.com/guide/configuration#environment-variables Does that work for your use case?

Hi @edgar_ramirez_mondragon, thanks for your suggestion. But is it possible to create a new plugin configuration through an api call? I can see that the UI makes an HTTP call like
<http://localhost:5000/api/v1/orchestrations/extractors/tap-shopify/configuration>
and passes the config as JSON in the body. Could that be an option? Thanks

Depends on what you mean by create, I guess. What would be your flow if you were using the CLI instead of the API?
