Pipe Unbounce Data to CSV in PowerShell

The CData Cmdlets Module for Unbounce is a standard PowerShell module offering straightforward integration with Unbounce. Below, you will find examples of using our API Cmdlets with native PowerShell cmdlets.

Creating a Connection to Your Unbounce Data

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.

$conn = Connect-API  -Profile "$Profile" -Authscheme "$Authscheme" -OAuthClientId "$OAuthClientId" -OAuthClientSecret "$OAuthClientSecret" -CallbackUrl "$CallbackUrl"

Selecting Data

Follow the steps below to retrieve data from the Tags table and pipe the result into to a CSV file:

Select-API -Connection $conn -Table Tags | Select -Property * -ExcludeProperty Connection,Table,Columns | Export-Csv -Path c:\myTagsData.csv -NoTypeInformation

You will notice that we piped the results from Select-API into a Select-Object cmdlet and excluded some properties before piping them into an Export-Csv cmdlet. We do this because the CData Cmdlets append Connection, Table, and Columns information onto each "row" in the result set, and we do not necessarily want that information in our CSV file.
