Query Klaviyo Data as a SQL Server Database in Node.js

You can use CData Connect AI to query Klaviyo data through a SQL Server interface. Follow the procedure below to create a virtual database for Klaviyo in Connect AI and start querying using Node.js.

CData Connect AI provides a pure MySQL, cloud-to-cloud interface for Klaviyo, allowing you to easily query live Klaviyo data in Node.js — without replicating the data to a natively supported database. As you query data in Node.js, CData Connect AI pushes all supported SQL operations (filters, JOINs, etc) directly to Klaviyo, leveraging server-side processing to quickly return Klaviyo data.

Configure Klaviyo Connectivity for NodeJS

Connectivity to Klaviyo from NodeJS is made possible through CData Connect AI. To work with Klaviyo data from NodeJS, we start by creating and configuring a Klaviyo connection.

1. Log into Connect AI, click Sources, and then click Add Connection

2. Select "Klaviyo" from the Add Connection panel

3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Klaviyo.

   To authenticate to Klaviyo, provide an API Key. You can generate or view your API keys under 'My Account'

   1. Navigate to 'Settings' > 'API Keys'
   2. Click 'Create API Key'.
   3. Name your API key and choose the desired scopes.

   To connect in your CData solutions, set API Key to your Klaviyo API key.

   If you wish to use OAuth authentication, refer to the Help documenation.

4. Click Save & Test
5. Navigate to the Permissions tab in the Add Klaviyo Connection page and update the User-based permissions.

Add a Personal Access Token

When connecting to Connect AI through the REST API, the OData API, or the Virtual SQL Server, a Personal Access Token (PAT) is used to authenticate the connection to Connect AI. It is best practice to create a separate PAT for each service to maintain granularity of access.

1. Click on the Gear icon () at the top right of the Connect AI app to open the settings page.
2. On the Settings page, go to the Access Tokens section and click Create PAT.
3. Give the PAT a name and click Create.
4. The personal access token is only visible at creation, so be sure to copy it and store it securely for future use.

With the connection configured and a PAT generated, you are ready to connect to Klaviyo data from Node.js.

Query Klaviyo from Node.js

The following example shows how to define a connection and execute queries to Klaviyo with the SQL Server module. You will need the following information:

• server: tds.cdata.com
• port: 14333
• user: a Connect AI user (e.g. [email protected])
• password: the PAT for the above user
• database: The connection you configured for Klaviyo (Klaviyo1)

Connect to Klaviyo data and start executing queries with the code below:

var sql = require('mssql')
var config = {
	server: 'tds.cdata.com',
	port: 14333, 
	user: '[email protected]', //update me
	password: 'CONNECT_USER_PAT', //update me	
	options: {
		encrypt: true,
		database: 'Klaviyo1'
	}
}

sql.connect(config, err => { 
    if(err){
        throw err ;
    }
    new sql.Request().query('SELECT * FROM Campaigns', (err, result) => {
        console.dir(result)
    })
        
});

sql.on('error', err => {
    console.log("SQL Error: " ,err);
})
