[API] Create a source using a custom connector through API

[victorthevong]

What area the feature impact?

Connectors

Relevant Information

In airbyte docs when building a custom connector, it states (https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/custom-connectors) after creation and publishing you can programmatically use a custom connector as a source.

It seems this is only true in airbyte OSS.

In airbyte cloud's API that is currently not available. As stated here - https://airbytehq.slack.com/archives/C021JANJ6TY/p1699913551475239

The airbyte cloud UI builder allows easy creation of api based connectors and UI functionality to create a source from those connectors already. We just want the cloud API to be exposed to do the same.

I came into this issue as well. The docs are not clear that airbyte OSS only supports for custom connectors. Not Airbyte Cloud

I would like an update on when cloud will support this in the future.
