Manage Pushbullet Data in DBArtisan as a JDBC Source

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

Integrate Pushbullet Data into DBArtisan Projects

Follow the steps below to register Pushbullet data as a database instance in your project:

1. In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
2. Select Generic JDBC.
3. Click Manage.
4. In the resulting dialog, click New. Enter a name for the driver and click Add. In the resulting dialog, navigate to the driver JAR. The driver JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory. 👁 The JDBC driver definition in the Register Datasource wizard. (Salesforce is shown.)
   
5. In the Connection URL box, enter credentials and other required connection properties in the JDBC URL.

   Using API Key Authentication

   Pushbullet uses token-based authentication (Access Token). To obtain an Access Token:

   1. Log in to your Pushbullet account at https://www.pushbullet.com
   2. Navigate to Settings > Account
   3. Click "Create Access Token"
   4. Copy the generated token

   After obtaining your Access Token, set the following connection properties:

   • AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
   Set the following in the ProfileSettings connection property:
   • APIKey: Set this to your Pushbullet Access Token.

   Example Connection String

   Profile=C:\profiles\Pushbullet.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_access_token;';AuthScheme=APIKey;
   

   Connecting to Pushbullet

   Once the authentication is configured, you can connect to Pushbullet and query data from any of the available tables such as Users, Pushes, Devices, Chats, Subscriptions, and Channels.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

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

   👁 Required JDBC connection properties in the Register Datasource wizard. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

   Below is a typical connection string:

   jdbc:api:Profile=C:\profiles\Pushbullet.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_access_token;';AuthScheme=APIKey;

6. Finish the wizard to connect to Pushbullet data. Pushbullet entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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