Using the CData ODBC Driver for Klaviyo in PyCharm


Connect to Klaviyo as an ODBC data source in PyCharm using the CData ODBC Driver for Klaviyo.

The CData ODBC Drivers can be used in any environment that supports loading an ODBC Driver. In this tutorial we will explore using the CData ODBC Driver for Klaviyo from within PyCharm. Included are steps for adding the CData ODBC Driver as a data source, as well as basic PyCharm code to query the data source and display results.

To begin, this tutorial will assume that you have already installed the CData ODBC Driver for Klaviyo as well as PyCharm.

Add Pyodbc to the Project

Follow the steps below to add the pyodbc module to your project.

  1. Click File -> Settings to open the project settings window.
  2. Click Project Interpreter from the Project: YourProjectName menu.
  3. To add pyodbc, click the + button and enter pyodbc.
  4. Click Install Package to install pyodbc.

Connect to Klaviyo

You can now connect with an ODBC connection string or a DSN. See the Getting Started section in the CData driver documentation for a guide to creating a DSN on your OS.

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

Klaviyo API Profile Settings

To authenticate to Klaviyo, you will needto provide an API Key. You can generate or view your API keys under 'My Account' > 'Setting' > 'API Key' > 'Create API Key'. Set the API Key to your Klaviyo Key in the ProfileSettings connection property.

Below is the syntax for a DSN:

[CData API Source] Driver = CData ODBC Driver for Klaviyo Description = My Description Profile = C:\profiles\Klaviyo.apip ProfileSettings = 'APIKey = my_api_key'

Execute SQL to Klaviyo

Instantiate a Cursor and use the execute method of the Cursor class to execute any SQL statement.

import pyodbc cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={CData ODBC Driver for API};Profile = C:\profiles\Klaviyo.apip;ProfileSettings = 'APIKey = my_api_key';') cursor = cnxn.cursor() cursor.execute("SELECT Id, Name FROM Campaigns WHERE Status = 'draft'") rows = cursor.fetchall() for row in rows: print(row.Id, row.Name)

After connecting to Klaviyo in PyCharm using the CData ODBC Driver, you will be able to build Python apps with access to Klaviyo data as if it were a standard database. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback regarding this tutorial, please contact us at support@cdata.com.
