Check Fivetran connector setup_state and sync_state before trusting its data

Export

Before trusting any Fivetran connector in automation, check status.setup_state == connected.

Before trusting any Fivetran connector in automation, check status.setupstate == connected. Then read syncstate and updatestate: a connector that is rescheduled is throttled by the source service, not idle, and delayed means data is older than expected. Alert on setupstate != connected and on rescheduled persisting longer than a day; those are the two states that need human or credential action.

Context: Real-world Fivetran notes (fields documented in the terraform-provider-fivetran data source docs): a connector is only healthy when setupstate is connected. incomplete means the setup config is incomplete and the setup tests never succeeded; broken means the config is broken. Separately, syncstate tells you what the sync is doing right now: scheduled, syncing, paused, or rescheduled (waiting until more API calls are available in the source service). updatestate is onschedule or delayed. Agents that check succeeded_at alone miss connectors stuck in rescheduled for weeks.

SearchApi: always check search_metadata.status before trusting the bodymake the first thing your parser does a status check: read search_metadata.status, and if it is not exactly Success, stop and surface the error message. Only then read engine-specific keys like organic_results. Two more habits from the same guide: never ask for num beyond 10 on Google engines, the API ignores it since September 2025, so page instead of widening; and set locale with gl and hl params, not the deprecated google_domain.
