Confluence Drivers & Connectors
for Data Integration

The Confluence driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Confluence, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The Confluence driver abstracts the complexities of Confluence APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Confluence data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a Confluence Driver is different than connecting with Confluence through other means. Confluence API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain Confluence integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Confluence Drivers offer codeless access to live Confluence data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Confluence data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to Confluence data. We manage all of the complexities of Confluence integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

If you need truly zero-maintenance integration, check out connectivity to Confluence via CData Connect Cloud. With Connect Cloud you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to Confluence from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to Confluence is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when Confluence is updated.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with Confluence, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData Confluence driver offers full-featured Confluence data connectivity. The CData Confluence drivers support extensive Confluence integration, providing access to all of the Confluence data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all Confluence data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData Confluence driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Confluence API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Confluence as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Confluence is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Confluence looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Confluence connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

Using the CData Confluence drivers and connectors, Confluence can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live Confluence data connectivity.

Additionally, since Confluence supported by CData Connect Cloud, we enable all kinds of new Confluence cloud integrations.

Confluence Analytics and Confluence Cloud BI integration is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify Confluence data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.

Confluence data integration is typically enabled with CData Sync, a robust any-to-any data pipeline solution that is easy to set up, runs everywhere, and offers comprehensive enterprise-class features for data engineering. CData Sync makes it easy to replicate Confluence data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental Confluence replication. In addition, our Confluence drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.

Absolutely. The best way to integrate Confluence with Excel is by using the CData Connect Cloud Excel Add-In. The Confluence Excel Add-In provides easy Confluence integration directly from Microsoft Excel Desktop, Mac, or Web (Excel 365). Simply configure your connection to Confluence from the easy-to-use cloud interface, and access Confluence just like you would another native Excel data source.
