Connect to MailerSend Data in DBArtisan

The CData ODBC Driver for MailerSend seamlessly integrates MailerSend data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access MailerSend data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for MailerSend in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate MailerSend Data into DBArtisan Projects

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

The MailerSend API uses API Key authentication via a Bearer token in the Authorization request header.

Using API Key Authentication

Your MailerSend API token is required to create a connection. To obtain your API token:

1. Log into your MailerSend account at app.mailersend.com.
2. Navigate to Settings > API Tokens in your account dashboard.
3. Click Generate new token, provide a name and select the appropriate permissions.
4. Copy the generated API token.

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

• AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
• APIKey: Set this to your MailerSend API token.

Example connection string:

Profile=C:\profiles\Mailersend.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_token';

You can then follow the steps below to register MailerSend data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic ODBC.
3. Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN. 👁 The DSN of the data source to be registered. (Salesforce is shown.)
   
4. Finish the wizard to connect to MailerSend data. MailerSend entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer. 👁 The Datasource Explorer. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

You can now work with MailerSend data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the MailerSend API.
