Automate LaunchDarkly Integration Tasks from PowerShell

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 LaunchDarkly.

ADO.NET Provider

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

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

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

LaunchDarkly API Profile Settings

In your LaunchDarkly account settings, navigate to Authorization > Access Tokens to generate an API access token.

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 LaunchDarkly:

    
   $conn= New-Object System.Data.CData.API.APIConnection("Profile=C:\profiles\LaunchDarkly.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_access_token';")
   $conn.Open()
   

3. Instantiate the APIDataAdapter, execute an SQL query, and output the results:

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