Are you in search of a quick and easy way to access Auth0 data from PowerShell? This article demonstrates how to utilize the Auth0 Cmdlets for tasks like connecting to Auth0 data, automating operations, downloading data, and more.

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 Auth0.

ADO.NET Provider

The ADO.NET Provider provides a SQL interface for Auth0; this tutorial shows how to use the Provider to retrieve Auth0 data.

Once you have acquired the necessary connection properties, accessing Auth0 data in PowerShell can be enabled in three steps.

Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Auth0 Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Auth0.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Auth0 (see below).

Auth0 API Profile Settings

Create a Machine to Machine application in your Auth0 Dashboard under Applications, then authorize it for the Auth0 Management API with the required scopes.

  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 Auth0:

     
    $conn= New-Object System.Data.CData.API.APIConnection("Profile=C:\profiles\Auth0.apip;Authscheme=OAuth;OAuthClientId=your_client_id;OAuthClientSecret=your_client_secret;CallbackUrl=your_callback_url;")
    $conn.Open()
    
  3. Instantiate the APIDataAdapter, execute an SQL query, and output the results:

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