Connect to Auth0 Data in RapidMiner

This article shows how you can easily integrate the CData JDBC driver for Auth0 into your processes in RapidMiner. This article uses the CData JDBC Driver for Auth0 to transfer Auth0 data to a process in RapidMiner.

Connect to Auth0 in RapidMiner as a JDBC Data Source

You can follow the procedure below to establish a JDBC connection to Auth0:

1. Add a new database driver for Auth0: Click Connections -> Manage Database Drivers.
2. In the resulting wizard, click the Add button and enter a name for the connection.
3. Enter the prefix for the JDBC URL:

   jdbc:api:
   

4. Enter the path to the cdata.jdbc.api.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
5. Enter the driver class:

   cdata.jdbc.api.APIDriver
   

   
6. Create a new Auth0 connection: Click Connections -> Manage Database Connections.
7. Enter a name for your connection.
8. For Database System, select the Auth0 driver you configured previously.
9. Enter your connection string in the Host box.

   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.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Auth0 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.

   

   A typical connection string is below:

   Profile=C:\profiles\Auth0.apip;Authscheme=OAuth;OAuthClientId=your_client_id;OAuthClientSecret=your_client_secret;CallbackUrl=your_callback_url;
   

10. Enter your username and password if necessary.

You can now use your Auth0 connection with the various RapidMiner operators in your process. To retrieve Auth0 data, drag the Retrieve operator from the Operators view. With the Retrieve operator selected, you can then define which table to retrieve in the Parameters view by clicking the folder icon next to the "repository entry." In the resulting Repository Browser, you can expand your connection node to select the desired example set.

Finally, wire the output to the Retrieve process to a result, and run the process to see the Auth0 data.
