Manage Aircall Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

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

Integrate Aircall Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Aircall 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 Aircall Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Aircall.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Aircall (see below).

   Aircall API Profile Settings

   In Aircall, go to your company settings and create a new API key to receive an API ID and API token. Combine them as

   APIId:APIToken

   for the APIKey property.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Aircall 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\Aircall.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_id:your_api_token';

6. Finish the wizard to connect to Aircall data. Aircall entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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