How to connect to Bing Ads Data from IntelliJ


Integrate connectivity to Bing Ads data with wizards in IntelliJ.

The CData JDBC Driver for Bing Ads enables you to access Bing Ads as a JDBC data source, providing integration with rapid development tools in IDEs. This article shows how to use the data source configuration wizard to connect to Bing Ads data in IntelliJ.

Create a JBDC Data Source for Bing Ads

Follow the steps below to add the driver JAR and define connection properties required to connect to Bing Ads data.

  1. In the Data Sources window, right-click and then click Add Data Source -> DB Data Source.

  2. In the Data Source Properties dialog that appears, the following properties are required:

    • JDBC Driver Files: Click the button next to this menu to add the JDBC Driver file cdata.jdbc.bingads.jar, located in the installation directory.
    • JDBC Driver Class: In this menu, select cdata.jdbc.bingads.BingAdsDriver from the list.

    • Database URL: Enter the connection URL in the JDBC URL property. The URL must start with jdbc:bingads: and includes connection properties separated with semicolons.

      The Bing Ads APIs use the OAuth 2 standard. To authenticate, you will need valid Bing Ads OAuth credentials and you will need to obtain a developer token. See the Getting Started section in the Bing Ads data provider help documentation for an authentication guide.

      Built-in Connection String Designer

      For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Bing Ads JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

      java -jar cdata.jdbc.bingads.jar

      Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

      A typical JDBC URL is the following:

      jdbc:bingads: OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId; OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret; CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber; AccountId=442311; CustomerId=5521444; DeveloperToken=11112332233;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH

Edit and Save Bing Ads Data

To discover schema information, right-click the data source you just created and click Refresh Tables. To query a table, right-click it and then click Open Tables Editor. You can also modify records in the Table Editor.
