Connect to Snapchat Ads Data in DBArtisan

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

Integrate Snapchat Ads 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.

Create an OAuth application to connect to Snapchat Ads. See the online Help documentation for an authentication guide.

Additionally, you can optionally set AccountId to provide a default Account ID (meaning it won't need to be manually provided in the WHERE clause). If the AccountId is not specified, the first account in the Accounts view is used.

You can then follow the steps below to register Snapchat Ads 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 Snapchat Ads data. Snapchat Ads entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer. 👁 The Datasource Explorer. (Salesforce is shown.)
   

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