# Metadata Ingestion

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