How to read data from Stripe in ODBC application

In this section we will learn how to configure and use Stripe Connector in the API Driver to extract data from the Stripe.

To get data from Stripe using we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from Stripe. We will later be able to read data using . Perform these steps:

1. Install ZappySys ODBC PowerPack.

2. Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):
   

3. Create a User Data Source (User DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

   ZappySys API Driver

   
   You should create a System DSN (instead of a User DSN) if the client application is launched under a Windows System Account, e.g. as a Windows Service. If the client application is 32-bit (x86) running with a System DSN, use ODBC Data Sources (32-bit) instead of the 64-bit version.

4. When the Configuration window appears give your data source a name if you haven't done that already, then select "Stripe" from the list of Popular Connectors. If "Stripe" is not present in the list, then click "Search Online" and download it. Then set the path to the location where you downloaded it. Finally, click Continue >> to proceed with configuring the DSN:

   StripeDSN

   Stripe

   

5. Now it's time to configure the Connection Manager. Select Authentication Type, e.g. Token Authentication. Then select API Base URL (in most cases, the default one is the right one). More info is available in the Authentication section.

    Stripe [Http]

   Steps to get Stripe Credentials : Stripe [Http]
   

   1. Login into your Stripe account
   2. Go to https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys.
   3. Then create a Secret key.
   4. In the parameter 'Token' fill in newly created key.

   Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

   StripeDSN

   Stripe

   Stripe [Http]

   https://api.stripe.com/v1

   Required Parameters
   Token	Fill in the parameter...
   Optional Parameters
   RetryMode	Fill in the parameter...
   RetryStatusCodeList	Fill in the parameter...
   RetryCountMax	Fill in the parameter...
   RetryMultiplyWaitTime	Fill in the parameter...

   

6. Once the data source has been configured, you can preview data. Select the Preview tab and use settings similar to the following to preview data:
   

7. Click OK to finish creating the data source.

1. Firstly, to get data from ODBC data source based on ZappySys ODBC driver, in your client application, you would need to connect to ODBC source and then from the list select the data source.

2. Finally, to read the data just read tables/views in your app or enter a SQL statement to extract data, e.g.:

   SELECT * FROM Customers
