How to Query Unbounce Data in MySQL Workbench


Execute MySQL queries against live Unbounce data from MySQL Workbench.

You can use the SQL Gateway from the ODBC Driver for Unbounce to query Unbounce data through a MySQL interface. Follow the procedure below to start the MySQL remoting service of the SQL Gateway and work with live Unbounce data in MySQL Workbench.

Connect to Unbounce 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.

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

Unbounce API Profile Settings

Unbounce uses OAuth to authenticate to your data.

In order to authenticate to Unbounce, you will first need to register an OAuth application. To do so, go to https://developer.unbounce.com/getting_started/ and complete the Register OAuth Application form.

After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

  • AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
  • InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.
  • OAuthClientId: Set this to the Client Id that is specified in your app settings.
  • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to Client Secret that is specified in your app settings.
  • CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI you specified in your app settings.

Configure the SQL Gateway

See the SQL Gateway Overview to set up connectivity to Unbounce 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 Unbounce from MySQL Workbench

The steps below outline connecting to the virtual Unbounce database created in the SQL Gateway from MySQL Workbench and issuing basic queries to work with live Unbounce data.

Connect to Unbounce through the SQL Gateway

  1. In MySQL Workbench, click to add a new MySQL connection.
  2. Name the connection (CData SQL Gateway for Unbounce).
  3. Set the Hostname, Port, and Username parameters to connect to the SQL Gateway.
  4. Click Store in Vault to set and store the password.
  5. Click Test Connection to ensure the connection is configured properly and click OK.

Query Unbounce Data

  1. Open the connection you just created (CData SQL Gateway for Unbounce).
  2. Click File -> New Query Tab.
  3. Write a SQL query to retrieve Unbounce data, like SELECT * FROM `CData API Sys`.Tags;

With access to live Unbounce data from MySQL Workbench, you can easily query and update Unbounce, just like you would a MySQL database. Get started now with a free, 30-day trial of the CData API Driver for ODBC and the CData SQL Gateway.
