Automate Amplitude Integration Tasks from PowerShell

The CData API Driver for ADO.NET is a standard ADO.NET Provider that make it easy to accomplish data cleansing, normalization, backup, and other integration tasks by enabling real-time access to Amplitude.

ADO.NET Provider

The ADO.NET Provider provides a SQL interface for Amplitude; this tutorial shows how to use the Provider to retrieve Amplitude data.

Once you have acquired the necessary connection properties, accessing Amplitude data in PowerShell can be enabled in three steps.

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

Amplitude API Profile Settings

Retrieve your API Key and Secret Key from your Amplitude project's Settings page. Both values are required for authenticating API requests.

1. Load the provider's assembly:

   [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:\Program Files\CData\CData API Driver for ADO.NET\lib\System.Data.CData.API.dll")
       

2. Connect to Amplitude:

    
   $conn= New-Object System.Data.CData.API.APIConnection("Profile=C:\profiles\Amplitude.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_key;SecretKey=your_secret_key';")
   $conn.Open()
   

3. Instantiate the APIDataAdapter, execute an SQL query, and output the results:

   $sql="SELECT Id, Date from ChartAnnotations"
   
   $da= New-Object System.Data.CData.API.APIDataAdapter($sql, $conn)
   $dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable
   $da.Fill($dt)
   
   $dt.Rows | foreach {
   	Write-Host $_.id $_.date
   }
