Automate ClickUp 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 ClickUp.

ADO.NET Provider

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

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

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

ClickUp API Profile Settings

In order to authenticate to ClickUp, you'll need to provide your API Key. You can find this token in your user settings, under the Apps section. At the top of the page you have the option to generate a personal token. Set the API Key to your personal token in the ProfileSettings property to connect.

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 ClickUp:

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

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

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