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

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

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

Configure Smaregi Connectivity for NodeJS

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

1. Log into Connect Cloud, click Connections and click Add Connection
2. Select "Smaregi" from the Add Connection panel
3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Smaregi.

   In order to authenticate, specify the following:

   • ContractId: Enter the Contract ID of your account. You can also find it in the Reception setting section.
   • AccessToken: Enter the access token in the Reception setting section.

   Both values can be found after logging into Smaregi and navigating to Configurations -> System linkage -> Smart API setting.

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

Add a Personal Access Token

If you are connecting from a service, application, platform, or framework that does not support OAuth authentication, you can create a Personal Access Token (PAT) to use for authentication. Best practices would dictate that you create a separate PAT for each service, to maintain granularity of access.

1. Click on your username at the top right of the Connect Cloud app and click User Profile.
2. On the User Profile page, scroll down to the Personal Access Tokens section and click Create PAT.
3. Give your 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, you are ready to connect to Smaregi data from Node.js.

Query Smaregi from Node.js

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

• server: tds.cdata.com
• port: 14333
• user: a Connect Cloud user (e.g. [email protected])
• password: the PAT for the above user
• database: The connection you configured for Smaregi (Smaregi1)

Connect to Smaregi 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: 'Smaregi1'
	}
}

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

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