Connect to Gong Data in RazorSQL

The CData JDBC Driver for Gong enables standards-based access from third-party tools, from wizards in IDEs to data management and analysis tools. This article shows how to connect to Gong using wizards in RazorSQL.

Create a JDBC Data Source for Gong Data

1. Open the RazorSQL application and, in the Connections menu, select Add Connection Profile -> Other -> JDBC.
2. In the Connection Wizard that appears, set the following properties:
   • Driver Location: Set this property to the path to the lib subfolder in the installation directory.
   • Driver Class: Set the driver class to cdata.jdbc.api.APIDriver.
   • Username: Enter the username. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)
   • Password: Enter the password. (This property can also be set in the JDBC URL.)

   • JDBC URL: Enter connection parameters. The JDBC URL begins with jdbc:api: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.

     To authenticate to Gong, you can use API Key authentication with your Gong API Key and API Secret.

     Authentication

     To authenticate to Gong, you must provide your Gong API Key and API Secret, along with your tenant Domain. These credentials are combined and Base64-encoded to form the Basic authentication header used for all API requests.

     Using API Key Authentication

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

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

     • AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
     • APIKey: Set this to your Gong API Key.
     • APISecret: Set this to your Gong API Secret.
     • Domain: Set this to your Gong tenant domain (e.g., us-36533.api.gong.io).

     Example connection string

     Profile=C:\profiles\Gong.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_key;APISecret=your_api_secret;Domain=your-tenant.api.gong.io';
     

     Built-in Connection String Designer

     For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Gong 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\Gong.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_key;APISecret=your_api_secret;Domain=your-tenant.api.gong.io';

Query Gong Data and Select Tables

After establishing a connection, the wizard will close and the connection will be available in the connections panel. You can then query the tables.
