How to connect to ElevenLabs Data from IntelliJ

The CData JDBC Driver for ElevenLabs enables you to access ElevenLabs as a JDBC data source, providing integration with rapid development tools in IDEs. This article shows how to use the data source configuration wizard to connect to ElevenLabs data in IntelliJ.

Create a JBDC Data Source for ElevenLabs

Follow the steps below to add the driver JAR and define connection properties required to connect to ElevenLabs data.

1. In the Data Sources window, right-click and then click Add Data Source -> DB Data Source.

2. In the Data Source Properties dialog that appears, the following properties are required:

   • JDBC Driver Files: Click the button next to this menu to add the JDBC Driver file cdata.jdbc.api.jar, located in the installation directory.
   • JDBC Driver Class: In this menu, select cdata.jdbc.api.APIDriver from the list.

   • Database URL: Enter the connection URL in the JDBC URL property. The URL must start with jdbc:api: and includes connection properties separated with semicolons.

     To authenticate to ElevenLabs, and connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data, you can use API Key authentication.

     Authentication

     To authenticate to ElevenLabs, and connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data, you can use API Key authentication.

     Using API Key Authentication

     To authenticate using an API Key, you need to obtain your API Key from your ElevenLabs account settings.

     You can then connect by setting the AuthScheme to APIKey and providing your API key:

     • AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
     • APIKey: Set this to your API key from ElevenLabs.

     Built-in Connection String Designer

     For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the ElevenLabs 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 JDBC URL is the following:

     jdbc:api:Profile=C:\profiles\Elevenlabs.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;APIKey=your_api_key_here;

Edit and Save ElevenLabs Data

To discover schema information, right-click the data source you just created and click Refresh Tables. To query a table, right-click it and then click Open Tables Editor.
