Query Streak Data as a MySQL Database in Node.js

You can use the SQL Gateway from the ODBC Driver for Streak to query Streak data through a MySQL interface. Follow the procedure below to start the MySQL remoting service of the SQL Gateway and start querying using Node.js.

Connect to Streak Data

If you have not already done so, provide values for the required connection properties in the data source name (DSN). You can use the built-in Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to configure the DSN. This is also the last step of the driver installation. See the "Getting Started" chapter in the help documentation for a guide to using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure a DSN.

Use the following steps to generate a new API key for authenticating to Streak.

1. Navigate to Gmail
2. Click on the Streak dropdown to the right of the search bar
3. Select the Integrations button. This will open a window where you can view existing integrations and create new API keys.
4. Under the Streak API section of integrations, click the button to Create New Key.

Configure the SQL Gateway

See the SQL Gateway Overview to set up connectivity to Streak data as a virtual MySQL database. You will configure a MySQL remoting service that listens for MySQL requests from clients. The service can be configured in the SQL Gateway UI.

Query Streak from Node.js

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

• Host name or address, and port: The machine and port where the MySQL remoting service is listening for MySQL connections.
• Username and password: The username and password of a user you authorized on the Users tab of the SQL Gateway.
• Database name: The DSN you configured for the MySQL remoting service.

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

var mysql      = require('mysql');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
  host     : 'localhost',
  database : 'CData Streak Sys',
  port	   : '3306',
  user     : 'mysql_user',
  password : 'test'
});
connection.connect();
connection.query('SELECT * FROM Users', function(err, rows, fields) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(rows);
});

connection.end();
