Connect to Google Campaign Manager 360 Data in Ruby
Connect to Google Campaign Manager 360 data in Ruby with ruby-dbi, dbd-odbc, and ruby-odbc.
The CData ODBC Driver for Google Campaign Manager 360 makes it easy to integrate connectivity to live Google Campaign Manager 360 data in Ruby. This article shows how to create a simple Ruby app that connects to Google Campaign Manager 360 data, executes a query, and displays the results.
Create an ODBC Connection to Google Campaign Manager 360 Data
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.
Google Campaign Manager uses the OAuth authentication standard. The data provider facilitates OAuth in various ways as described below. The following OAuth flow requires the authenticating user to interact with DoubleClick Campaign Manager, using the browser. You can also use a service account to authenticate.
For authentication guides, see the Getting Started section of the data provider help documentation.
Installing Ruby and Necessary Gems
If you do not have Ruby installed, refer to the Ruby installation page. With Ruby installed, you will need to install the ruby-dbi, dbd-odbc, and ruby-odbc gems:
gem install dbi
gem install dbd-odbc
gem install ruby-odbc
Create a Ruby App with Connectivity to Google Campaign Manager 360 Data
Create a new Ruby file (for example: GoogleCMSelect.rb) and open it in a text editor. Copy the following code into your file:
#connect to the DSN
require 'dbi'
cnxn = DBI.connect('DBI:ODBC:CData GoogleCM Source','','')
#execute a SELECT query and store the result set
resultSet = cnxn.execute("SELECT Clicks, Device FROM CampaignPerformance")
#display the names of the columns
resultSet.column_names.each do |name|
print name, "\t"
end
puts
#display the results
while row = resultSet.fetch do
(0..resultSet.column_names.size - 1).each do |n|
print row[n], "\t"
end
puts
end
resultSet.finish
#close the connection
cnxn.disconnect if cnxn
With the file completed, you are ready to display your Google Campaign Manager 360 data with Ruby. To do so, simply run your file from the command line:
ruby GoogleCMSelect.rb
