    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.

    Below is a typical connection string:

    jdbc:api:Profile=C:\profiles\Elevenlabs.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;APIKey=your_api_key_here;
    
  7. In the dialog that appears after you click OK, click connect to test the connection.

Discover Schemas and Query ElevenLabs Data

After the metadata has loaded, a new tab for the ElevenLabs data source is displayed. On the Objects subtab, you can discover schema information, such as the available tables and views.

To view table data, select the table on the Objects tab. The table data is then loaded in a grid on the Content tab.

To execute an SQL query, enter the query on the SQL tab and then click Run SQL (the runner icon). For example:

SELECT ,  FROM AgentBranches WHERE AgentId = 'agent_01234567890'
