Connect to ZeroBounce Data in CloverDX (formerly CloverETL)

The CData JDBC Driver for ZeroBounce enables you to use the data transformation components in CloverDX (formerly CloverETL) to work with ZeroBounce as sources. In this article, you will use the JDBC Driver for ZeroBounce to set up a simple transfer into a flat file.

Connect to ZeroBounce as a JDBC Data Source

1. Create the connection to ZeroBounce data. In a new CloverDX graph, right-click the Connections node in the Outline pane and click Connections -> Create Connection. The Database Connection wizard is displayed.
2. Click the plus icon to load a driver from a JAR. Browse to the lib subfolder of the installation directory and select the cdata.jdbc.api.jar file.
3. Enter the JDBC URL.

   Using API Key Authentication

   ZeroBounce uses API key authentication. To obtain an API key:

   1. Log in to your ZeroBounce account at https://app.zerobounce.net
   2. Navigate to the API tab in your account dashboard
   3. Copy the API key displayed on the page

   After obtaining your API key, set the following connection properties:

   • AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
   Set the following in the ProfileSettings connection property:
   • APIKey: Set this to your ZeroBounce API key.

   Example Connection String

   Profile=C:\profiles\ZeroBounce.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;ProfileSettings="APIKey=your_api_key";
   

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the ZeroBounce JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.api.jar
   

   Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

   

   A typical JDBC URL is below:

   jdbc:api:Profile=C:\profiles\ZeroBounce.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;ProfileSettings="APIKey=your_api_key";

Query ZeroBounce Data with the DBInputTable Component

1. Drag a DBInputTable from the Readers selection of the Palette onto the job flow and double-click it to open the configuration editor.
2. In the DB connection property, select the ZeroBounce JDBC data source from the drop-down menu.
3. Enter the SQL query. For example:

   SELECT ,  FROM Credits WHERE  = ''

Write the Output of the Query to a UniversalDataWriter

1. Drag a UniversalDataWriter from the Writers selection onto the jobflow.
2. Double-click the UniversalDataWriter to open the configuration editor and add a file URL.
3. Right-click the DBInputTable and then click Extract Metadata.
4. Connect the output port of the DBInputTable to the UniversalDataWriter.
5. In the resulting Select Metadata menu for the UniversalDataWriter, choose the Credits table. (You can also open this menu by right-clicking the input port for the UniversalDataWriter.)
6. Click Run to write to the file.
