Connect to ElevenLabs Data in RapidMiner

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

Connect to ElevenLabs in RapidMiner as a JDBC Data Source

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

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

   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 connection string is below:

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

10. Enter your username and password if necessary.

You can now use your ElevenLabs connection with the various RapidMiner operators in your process. To retrieve ElevenLabs 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 ElevenLabs data.
