Are you in search of a quick and easy way to access Keap data from PowerShell? This article demonstrates how to utilize the Keap Cmdlets for tasks like connecting to Keap data, automating operations, downloading data, and more.

The CData API Driver for ADO.NET is a standard ADO.NET Provider that make it easy to accomplish data cleansing, normalization, backup, and other integration tasks by enabling real-time access to Keap.

ADO.NET Provider

The ADO.NET Provider provides a SQL interface for Keap; this tutorial shows how to use the Provider to retrieve Keap data.

Once you have acquired the necessary connection properties, accessing Keap data in PowerShell can be enabled in three steps.

Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Keap Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Keap.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Keap (see below).

Keap API Profile Settings

Log into your Keap web app, click the user bubble in the bottom left, choose Settings > API, then generate a new Personal Access Token or Service Account Key.

  1. Load the provider's assembly:

    [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:\Program Files\CData\CData API Driver for ADO.NET\lib\System.Data.CData.API.dll")
        
  2. Connect to Keap:

     
    $conn= New-Object System.Data.CData.API.APIConnection("Profile=C:\profiles\Keap.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_key';")
    $conn.Open()
    
  3. Instantiate the APIDataAdapter, execute an SQL query, and output the results:

    $sql="SELECT Name, Email from Account"
    
    $da= New-Object System.Data.CData.API.APIDataAdapter($sql, $conn)
    $dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable
    $da.Fill($dt)
    
    $dt.Rows | foreach {
    	Write-Host $_.name $_.email
    }
