Are you in search of a quick and easy way to access Wrike data from PowerShell? This article demonstrates how to utilize the Wrike Cmdlets for tasks like connecting to Wrike data, automating operations, downloading data, and more.

The CData API Driver for ADO.NET is a standard ADO.NET Provider that make it easy to accomplish data cleansing, normalization, backup, and other integration tasks by enabling real-time access to Wrike.

ADO.NET Provider

The ADO.NET Provider provides a SQL interface for Wrike; this tutorial shows how to use the Provider to retrieve Wrike data.

Once you have acquired the necessary connection properties, accessing Wrike data in PowerShell can be enabled in three steps.

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

Wrike API Profile Settings

Obtain a permanent API token from the Wrike App Console by clicking Obtain Token.

  1. Load the provider's assembly:

    [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:\Program Files\CData\CData API Driver for ADO.NET\lib\System.Data.CData.API.dll")
        
  2. Connect to Wrike:

     
    $conn= New-Object System.Data.CData.API.APIConnection("Profile=C:\profiles\Wrike.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_key';")
    $conn.Open()
    
  3. Instantiate the APIDataAdapter, execute an SQL query, and output the results:

    $sql="SELECT Id, Name from Account"
    
    $da= New-Object System.Data.CData.API.APIDataAdapter($sql, $conn)
    $dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable
    $da.Fill($dt)
    
    $dt.Rows | foreach {
    	Write-Host $_.id $_.name
    }
