Integrate connectivity to SurveyMonkey data with wizards in IntelliJ.
The CData JDBC Driver for SurveyMonkey enables you to access SurveyMonkey as a JDBC data source, providing integration with rapid development tools in IDEs. This article shows how to use the data source configuration wizard to connect to SurveyMonkey data in IntelliJ.
Create a JBDC Data Source for SurveyMonkey
Follow the steps below to add the driver JAR and define connection properties required to connect to SurveyMonkey data.
- In the Data Sources window, right-click and then click Add Data Source -> DB Data Source.
In the Data Source Properties dialog that appears, the following properties are required:
- JDBC Driver Files: Click the button next to this menu to add the JDBC Driver file cdata.jdbc.surveymonkey.jar, located in the installation directory.
- JDBC Driver Class: In this menu, select cdata.jdbc.surveymonkey.SurveyMonkeyDriver from the list.
Database URL: Enter the connection URL in the JDBC URL property. The URL must start with jdbc:surveymonkey: and includes connection properties separated with semicolons.
SurveyMonkey uses the OAuth 2 authentication standard. See the Getting Started section in the help documentation for a guide.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the SurveyMonkey JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.surveymonkey.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
A typical JDBC URL is the following:
jdbc:surveymonkey:OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH
Edit and Save SurveyMonkey Data
To discover schema information, right-click the data source you just created and click Refresh Tables. To query a table, right-click it and then click Open Tables Editor.
