Connect to Monday.com Data from PowerBuilder
This article demonstrates how to use the CData ODBC Driver for Monday.com to connect to Monday.com data and execute queries in PowerBuilder.
The CData ODBC Driver for Monday.com can be used from any platform or development technology that supports ODBC, including PowerBuilder. This article shows how to connect to Monday.com data and execute queries from the Database Painter and controls such as the DataWindow.
Connect to Monday.com as an ODBC Data Source
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.
You can connect to Monday.com using either API Token authentication or OAuth authentication.

- Log in to your Monday.com account and click on your avatar in the bottom left corner.
- Select Admin.
- Select "API" on the left side of the Admin page.
- Click the "Copy" button to copy the user's API token.
- API tokens for non-admin users
- Click on your profile picture in the bottom left of your screen.
- Select "Developers"
- Click "Developer" and then "My Access Tokens" at the top.
- Select "Show" next to the API token, where you'll be able to copy it.
Connecting with OAuth Authentication
Alternatively, you can establish a connection using OAuth (refer to the OAuth section of the Help documentation).

- To view and modify a table, right-click a table and then click Edit Data -> Grid.
Using Monday.com Data with PowerBuilder Controls
You can use standard PowerBuilder objects to connect to ODBC data sources and execute queries. The following example shows how to retrieve Monday.com data into a DataWindow. You can add the following code to the open method:
SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC"
SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=CData Monday Source'"
CONNECT USING SQLCA;
dw_invoices.SetTransObject(SQLCA);
dw_invoices.Retrieve();
