Below is the syntax for a DSN:

[CData EbayAnalytics Source] Driver = CData ODBC Driver for eBay Analytics Description = My Description OAuthClientId = MyAppID OAuthClientSecret = MyCertID RuName = MyRuName

Instantiate a Cursor and use the execute method of the Cursor class to execute any SQL statement.

import pyodbc cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={CData ODBC Driver for EbayAnalytics};OAuthClientId = MyAppID;OAuthClientSecret = MyCertID;RuName = MyRuName;') cursor = cnxn.cursor() cursor.execute("SELECT ListingName, ClickThroughRate FROM TrafficReportByListing WHERE ListingId = '201284405428'") rows = cursor.fetchall() for row in rows: print(row.ListingName, row.ClickThroughRate)
