Connect to MailerSend Data in RazorSQL

The CData JDBC Driver for MailerSend 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 MailerSend using wizards in RazorSQL.

Create a JDBC Data Source for MailerSend 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.

     The MailerSend API uses API Key authentication via a Bearer token in the Authorization request header.

     Using API Key Authentication

     Your MailerSend API token is required to create a connection. To obtain your API token:

     1. Log into your MailerSend account at app.mailersend.com.
     2. Navigate to Settings > API Tokens in your account dashboard.
     3. Click Generate new token, provide a name and select the appropriate permissions.
     4. Copy the generated API token.

     After obtaining your API token, set the following connection properties:

     • AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
     • APIKey: Set this to your MailerSend API token.

     Example connection string:

     Profile=C:\profiles\Mailersend.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_token';
     

     Built-in Connection String Designer

     For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the MailerSend 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\Mailersend.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_token';

Query MailerSend 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.
