Integrate Calendly data with standard components and data source configuration wizards in RapidMiner Studio.
This article shows how you can easily integrate the CData JDBC driver for Calendly into your processes in RapidMiner. This article uses the CData JDBC Driver for Calendly to transfer Calendly data to a process in RapidMiner.
Connect to Calendly in RapidMiner as a JDBC Data Source
You can follow the procedure below to establish a JDBC connection to Calendly:
- Add a new database driver for Calendly: Click Connections -> Manage Database Drivers.
- In the resulting wizard, click the Add button and enter a name for the connection.
- Enter the prefix for the JDBC URL:
jdbc:api:
- Enter the path to the cdata.jdbc.api.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
- Enter the driver class:
cdata.jdbc.api.APIDriver
- Create a new Calendly connection: Click Connections -> Manage Database Connections.
- Enter a name for your connection.
- For Database System, select the Calendly driver you configured previously.
- Enter your connection string in the Host box.
Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Calendly Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\CalendlyProfile.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Calendly (see below).
Calendly API Profile Settings
To authenticate to Calendly, you will need to provide an API Key. The Calendly API Key, can be found in your Calendly account, under 'Integrations' > 'API & Webhooks' > 'Generate New Token'. Set the APIKey in the ProfileSettings connection property.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Calendly JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.api.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
A typical connection string is below:
Profile=C:\profiles\Calendly.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_token';
- Enter your username and password if necessary.
You can now use your Calendly connection with the various RapidMiner operators in your process. To retrieve Calendly data, drag the Retrieve operator from the Operators view. With the Retrieve operator selected, you can then define which table to retrieve in the Parameters view by clicking the folder icon next to the "repository entry." In the resulting Repository Browser, you can expand your connection node to select the desired example set.
Finally, wire the output to the Retrieve process to a result, and run the process to see the Calendly data.
