Connect to Twitter Ads Data in DBArtisan

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

Integrate Twitter 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.

All tables require authentication. You must use OAuth to authenticate with Twitter. OAuth requires the authenticating user to interact with Twitter using the browser. For more information, refer to the OAuth section in the Help documentation.

You can then follow the steps below to register Twitter 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.
4. Finish the wizard to connect to Twitter Ads data. Twitter Ads entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.

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