Using the CData ODBC Driver for Klaviyo in PyCharm

The CData ODBC Drivers can be used in any environment that supports loading an ODBC Driver. In this tutorial we will explore using the CData ODBC Driver for Klaviyo from within PyCharm. Included are steps for adding the CData ODBC Driver as a data source, as well as basic PyCharm code to query the data source and display results.

To begin, this tutorial will assume that you have already installed the CData ODBC Driver for Klaviyo as well as PyCharm.

Add Pyodbc to the Project

Follow the steps below to add the pyodbc module to your project.

1. Click File -> Settings to open the project settings window.
2. Click Project Interpreter from the Project: YourProjectName menu.
3. To add pyodbc, click the + button and enter pyodbc.
4. Click Install Package to install pyodbc.

Connect to Klaviyo

You can now connect with an ODBC connection string or a DSN. See the Getting Started section in the CData driver documentation for a guide to creating a DSN on your OS.

To authenticate to Klaviyo, provide an API Key. You can generate or view your API keys under 'My Account'

1. Navigate to 'Settings' > 'API Keys'
2. Click 'Create API Key'.
3. Name your API key and choose the desired scopes.

To connect in your CData solutions, set API Key to your Klaviyo API key.

If you wish to use OAuth authentication, refer to the Help documenation.

Below is the syntax for a DSN:

[CData Klaviyo Source]
Driver = CData ODBC Driver for Klaviyo
Description = My Description
APIKey = my_api_key

Execute SQL to Klaviyo

Instantiate a Cursor and use the execute method of the Cursor class to execute any SQL statement.

import pyodbc

cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={CData ODBC Driver for Klaviyo};APIKey = my_api_key;')
cursor = cnxn.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT Id, Name FROM Campaigns WHERE Status = 'draft'")
rows = cursor.fetchall()
for row in rows:
 print(row.Id, row.Name)

After connecting to Klaviyo in PyCharm using the CData ODBC Driver, you will be able to build Python apps with access to Klaviyo data as if it were a standard database. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback regarding this tutorial, please contact us at [email protected].
