Cannot run Sync command externally (curl) for Airbyte

Question

I want to Trigger a sync operation on Airbyte (Hosted on Docker) externally and below is the CURL command I am trying to run. curl -u 'airbyte:password' -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/connections/sync" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"connectionId":"[XXXXXXX8b-1b35-4XXe-9XXX3-e06b5XXXXd04]"}'

and it gives below error:

curl: (28) Failed to connect to IPADDRESS port 8001 after 133762 ms: Couldn't connect to server.

I was trying to implement this as per this article by Airbyte

Instead of using localhost in curl command i have tried and replaced it with actual IP of below:

1. wsl hostname -I
2. or IP address showing against o/p of docker inspect $(docker ps -q) --format='{{ .Name }} {{ .Config.Image }} {{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}} {{.IPAddress}} {{end}}' and choosing IP shown against airbyte/server row.
3. or just trying with host.docker.internal

but it's not working either way.

You use the outdated version. The url should be http://localhost:8006/v1/jobs, then provide connectionId and jobType in params.

curl -u 'airbyte:password' --request POST \
     --url http://localhost:8006/v1/jobs \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"connectionId":"XXXXXXX8b-1b35-4XXe-9XXX3-e06b5XXXXd04","jobType":"sync"}'
