Connect to Zoom Data in DBArtisan


Use wizards in DBArtisan to configure Zoom data as a data source.

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

Integrate Zoom Data into DBArtisan Projects

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

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

Zoom API Profile Settings

To authenticate to Zoom, you can use the OAuth standard to connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data.

First you will need to create an OAuth app. To do so, navigate to https://marketplace.zoom.us/develop/create and click Create under the OAuth section. Select whether or not the app will be for individual users or for the entire account, and uncheck the box to publish the app. Give the app a name and click Create. You will then be given your Client Secret and Client ID

After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

  • AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
  • InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.
  • OAuthClientID: Set this to the OAuth Client ID that is specified in your app settings.
  • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the OAuth Client Secret that is specified in your app settings.
  • CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI you specified in your app settings.

You can then follow the steps below to register Zoom data as a database instance in your project:

  1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
  2. Select Generic ODBC.
  3. Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
  4. Finish the wizard to connect to Zoom data. Zoom entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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