Viewing Stripe Data in RAD Studio Data Explorer


How to view Stripe data in RAD Studio Data Explorer using the CData ODBC Driver for Stripe.

Embarcadero RAD Studio provides a development environment for Delphi and C++Builder applications. With the CData ODBC Driver for Stripe, you gain access to live Stripe data within RAD Studio, abstracting the data into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve and update Stripe data. This article will walk through connecting to Stripe using the Data Explorer.

Configure a Connection to Stripe

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

Use the OAuth authentication standard to connect to Stripe. To authenticate using OAuth, you will need to register an app to obtain the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL connection properties. See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for a guide to using OAuth.

Connecting to Stripe Data Using Data Explorer

You can create a simple application for displaying Stripe data by utilizing the CData FireDAC Components for Stripe and a new VCL Forms Application:

  1. Open the Data Explorer in RAD Studio and expand FireDAC.
  2. Right-click the ODBC Data Source node in the Data Explorer.
  3. Click Add New Connection.
  4. Enter a name for the connection.
  5. In the FireDAC Connection Editor that appears, set the DataSource property to the name of the ODBC DSN for Stripe.
  6. Back in the Data Explorer, expand the tables for the connection.

  7. Create a new VCL Forms application and drag a table (for example: Customers) onto the form.

  8. Select the CustomersTable object on the form and set the Active property to true.

  9. Right-click on the object, bind visually, and link everything (*) to a new control (TStringGrid).

  10. Arrange the TStringGrid on the form and run the application to see the Customers data.
