Manage ClickUp Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

The CData JDBC Driver for ClickUp seamlessly integrates ClickUp data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access ClickUp data as a database. This article shows how to create a JDBC source for ClickUp in DBArtisan. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate ClickUp Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register ClickUp data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic JDBC.
3. Click Manage.
4. In the resulting dialog, click New. Enter a name for the driver and click Add. In the resulting dialog, navigate to the driver JAR. The driver JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
5. In the Connection URL box, enter credentials and other required connection properties in the JDBC URL.

   Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the ClickUp Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\ClickUp.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for ClickUp (see below).

   ClickUp API Profile Settings

   In order to authenticate to ClickUp, you'll need to provide your API Key. You can find this token in your user settings, under the Apps section. At the top of the page you have the option to generate a personal token. Set the API Key to your personal token in the ProfileSettings property to connect.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the ClickUp 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.

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:api:Profile=C:\profiles\ClickUp.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=my_personal_token';
6. Finish the wizard to connect to ClickUp data. ClickUp entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

You can now work with ClickUp data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the ClickUp API.
