Python Connector Libraries for ShipStation Data Connectivity. Integrate ShipStation with popular Python tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash & petl. Easy-to-use Python Database API (DB-API) Modules connect ShipStation data with Python and any Python-based applications.

Features

Fully compatible with the ShipStation API
Use SQL Stored Procedures to perform actions like creating labels, adding tags, assigning users, and more
Powerful metadata querying enables SQL-like access to non-database sources
Push down query optimization pushes SQL operations down to the server whenever possible, increasing performance
Client-side query execution engine, supports SQL-92 operations that are not available server-side
Connect to live ShipStation data, for real-time data access with the ShipStation Python Connectors
Full support for data aggregation and complex JOINs in SQL queries
Secure connectivity through modern cryptography, including TLS 1.2, SHA-256, ECC, etc.
Seamless integration with leading BI, reporting, and ETL tools and with custom applications via the ShipStation Connector.

Python connectivity with ShipStation

Full-featured and consistent SQL access to any supported data source through Python


Connecting to ShipStation with Python

CData Python Connectors leverage the Database API (DB-API) interface to make it easy to work with ShipStation from a wide range of standard Python data tools. Connecting to and working with your data in Python follows a basic pattern, regardless of data source:

  • Configure the connection properties to ShipStation
  • Query ShipStation to retrieve or update data
  • Connect your ShipStation data with Python data tools.


Connecting to ShipStation in Python

To connect to your data from Python, import the extension and create a connection:

Once you import the extension, you can work with all of your enterprise data using the python modules and toolkits that you already know and love, quickly building apps that help you drive business.

import cdata.shipstation as mod
conn = mod.connect("[email protected]; Password=password;")

#Create cursor and iterate over results
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM Marketplaces")
	
rs = cur.fetchall()
	
for row in rs:
print(row)
		
engine = create_engine("shipstation///Password=password&User=user")

df = pandas.read_sql("SELECT * FROM Marketplaces", engine)

df.plot()
plt.show()

Visualize ShipStation Data with pandas

The data-centric interfaces of the ShipStation Python Connector make it easy to integrate with popular tools like pandas and SQLAlchemy to visualize data in real-time.

AI-assisted development with CData CLI

Build ShipStation integrations faster with AI that understands your schema

Schema-aware AI

CData CLI gives AI coding tools access to your ShipStation schema. No more guessing table names or column types—AI sees the same metadata in your Python Connectors.

Your AI Knows SQL

How to find table names, column names, and how to generate SQL syntax are things that AI knows well from millions of training data. No need for customization, no hallucinations. Your AI acts like a domain specialist to ShipStation.

More Accurate, More Token-Efficient

With CData CLI's queryable schema detection and highly efficient queries with filters, aggregation, joins with correct pushdown, your AI will achieve more accuracy with less token usage.
