Connect to Deel Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for Deel seamlessly integrates Deel data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Deel data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Deel in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Deel 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.
To authenticate to Deel, you can use API Key (Bearer Token) authentication.
Using APIKey Authentication
You can authenticate using a Deel API Key. Create an API key in your Deel account settings under Settings > API or Developer Settings. Make sure to grant appropriate permissions based on the data you need to access (e.g., read access for invoices, timesheets, contracts, workers, etc.).
After creating your API Key, set the following connection properties:
- AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
- APIKey: Set this to your Deel API Key (Bearer token).
Example APIKey connection string
Profile=C:\profiles\Deel.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_deel_api_key';
You can then follow the steps below to register Deel 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 Deel data. Deel entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Deel data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Deel API.
