Viewing LinkedIn Ads データ in RAD Studio Data Explorer

Embarcadero RAD Studio provides a development environment for Delphi and C++Builder applications. With the CData ODBC Driver for LinkedIn Ads, you gain access to live LinkedIn Ads データ within RAD Studio, abstracting the data into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve LinkedIn Ads データ. This article will walk through connecting to LinkedIn Ads using the Data Explorer.

Configure a Connection to LinkedIn Ads

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.

LinkedIn Ads 接続プロパティの取得・設定方法

LinkedIn Ads はOAuth 認証標準を使用します。CData 製品では組込みOAuth が利用できるので、接続プロパティを設定することなく接続を試行するだけで、ブラウザ経由でAAS に認証できます。詳しくは、ヘルプドキュメントの「OAuth」セクションを参照してください。

Connecting to LinkedIn Ads データ Using Data Explorer

You can create a simple application for displaying LinkedIn Ads データ by utilizing the CData FireDAC Components for LinkedIn Ads and a new VCL Forms Application:

1. Open the Data Explorer in RAD Studio and expand FireDAC.
2. Right-click the ODBC Data Source node in the Data Explorer.
3. Click Add New Connection.
4. Enter a name for the connection.
5. In the FireDAC Connection Editor that appears, set the DataSource property to the name of the ODBC DSN for LinkedIn Ads.
6. Back in the Data Explorer, expand the views for the connection.

7. Create a new VCL Forms application and drag a view (for example: Analytics) onto the form.

8. Select the AnalyticsView object on the form and set the Active property to true.

9. Right-click on the object, bind visually, and link everything (*) to a new control (TStringGrid).

10. Arrange the TStringGrid on the form and run the application to see the Analytics data.
