Connect to Pushbullet Data in DBArtisan

The CData ODBC 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 an data source for Pushbullet in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.

Integrate Pushbullet 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.

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.

You can then 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 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 Pushbullet data. Pushbullet entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer. 👁 The Datasource Explorer. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

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.
