Cvent Drivers & Connectors
for Data Integration

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

Working with a Cvent Driver is different than connecting with Cvent through other means. Cvent 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 Cvent integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Cvent Drivers offer codeless access to live Cvent data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Cvent 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 Cvent data. We manage all of the complexities of Cvent integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

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

Using the CData Cvent drivers and connectors, Cvent 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 Cvent data connectivity.

Cvent Analytics 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 Cvent 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.

Absolutely. CData offers native Excel Add-Ins for Cvent integration. These Add-Ins provide live access to Cvent data directly from Microsoft Excel.
