How to Query ZeroBounce Data in MySQL Workbench

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

Connect to ZeroBounce 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.

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.

• APIKey: Set this to your ZeroBounce API key.

Example Connection String

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

Configure the SQL Gateway

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

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

Connect to ZeroBounce through the SQL Gateway

1. In MySQL Workbench, click to add a new MySQL connection.
2. Name the connection (CData SQL Gateway for ZeroBounce).
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.

NOTE: When we refer to Username and Password, we mean the credentials for the user(s) created for the SQL Gateway.

Query ZeroBounce Data

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