Integrate Mistral AI with External Services using SnapLogic

Use CData JDBC drivers in SnapLogic to integrate Mistral AI with External Services.

SnapLogic is an integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) that allows users to create data integration flows with no code. When paired with the CData JDBC Drivers, users get access to live data from more than 250+ SaaS, Big Data and NoSQL sources, including Mistral AI, in their SnapLogic workflows.

With built-in optimized data processing, the CData JDBC Driver offers unmatched performance for interacting with live Mistral AI data. When platforms issue complex SQL queries to Mistral AI, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Mistral AI and utilizes the embedded SQL engine to process unsupported operations client-side (often SQL functions and JOIN operations). Its built-in dynamic metadata querying lets you work with Mistral AI data using native data types.

Connect to Mistral AI in SnapLogic

To connect to Mistral AI data in SnapLogic, download and install the CData Mistral AI JDBC Driver. Follow the installation dialog. When the installation is complete, the JAR file can be found in the installation directory (C:/Program Files/CData/CData API Driver for JDBC/lib by default).

Upload the Mistral AI JDBC Driver

After installation, upload the JDBC JAR file to a location in SnapLogic (for example, projects/Jerod Johnson) from the Manager tab.

Configure the Connection

Once the JDBC Driver is uploaded, we can create the connection to Mistral AI.

  1. Navigate to the Designer tab
  2. Expand "JDBC" from Snaps and drag a "Generic JDBC - Select" snap onto the designer πŸ‘ Adding a Generic JDBC snap onto the designer
  3. Click Add Account (or select an existing one) and click "Continue"
  4. In the next form, configure the JDBC connection properties:
    • Under JDBC JARs, add the JAR file we previously uploaded
    • Set JDBC Driver Class to cdata.jdbc.api.APIDriver
    • Set JDBC URL to a JDBC connection string for the Mistral AI JDBC Driver, for example:

      jdbc:api:Profile=C:\profiles\MistralAI.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=my_api_key;';AuthScheme=APIKey;RTK=XXXXXX;

      NOTE: RTK is a trial or full key. Contact our Support team for more information. πŸ‘ Configuring a connection (Salesforce is shown)

      Built-In Connection String Designer

      For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Mistral AI 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.

      The MistralAI API uses API key authentication.

      Using API Key Authentication

      Your MistralAI API Key is required to create a connection to MistralAI. API Keys can be obtained from your MistralAI account at console.mistral.ai by navigating to the API Keys section. Once you have obtained the API key, set it in the ProfileSettings connection property.

      Example Connection string

      Profile=C:\profiles\MistralAI.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=my_api_key;';AuthScheme=APIKey;

  5. After entering the connection properties, click "Validate" and "Apply"

Read Mistral AI Data

In the form that opens after validating and applying the connection, configure your query.

  • Set Schema name to "API"
  • Set Table name to a table for Mistral AI using the schema name, for example: "API"."AudioTranscriptions" (use the drop-down to see the full list of available tables)
  • Add Output fields for each item you wish to work with from the table
πŸ‘ Configuring a Select snap (Salesforce is shown)

Save the Generic JDBC - Select snap.

With connection and query configured, click the end of the snap to preview the data (highlighted below).

πŸ‘ Click the end of the snap to preview the data.

Once you confirm the results are what you expect, you can add additional snaps to funnel your Mistral AI data to another endpoint.

Piping Mistral AI Data to External Services

For this article, we will load data in a Google Spreadsheet. You can use any of the supported snaps, or even use a Generic JDBC snap with another CData JDBC Driver, to move data into an external service.

  1. Start by dropping a "Worksheet Writer" snap onto the end of the "Generic JDBC - Select" snap.
  2. Add an account to connect to Google Sheets πŸ‘ Connecting to Google
  3. Configure the Worksheet Writer snap to write your Mistral AI data to a Google Spreadsheet πŸ‘ Writing to a Google Spreadsheet

You can now execute the fully configured pipeline to extract data from Mistral AI and push it into a Google Spreadsheet.
