Connect to Apify Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for Apify seamlessly integrates Apify data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Apify data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Apify in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Apify 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 Apify Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Apify.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Apify (see below).
Apify API Profile Settings
Obtain your API token from the Apify Console by navigating to Settings and generating a new API token.
You can then follow the steps below to register Apify data as a database instance in your project:
- In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
- Select Generic ODBC.
- Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
- Finish the wizard to connect to Apify data. Apify entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Apify data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Apify API.
