# Metadata Ingestion
OpenMetadata Ingesiton is a simple framework to build connectors and ingest metadata of various systems through [OpenMetadata APIs](https://docs.open-metadata.org/v/docs/openmetadata-apis/apis).
It could be used in an orchestration framework(e.g. Apache Airflow) to ingest metadata.
