This section shows how to set up ODBC connectivity and configure DSNs on macOS.

Minimum macOS Version

The CData ODBC Driver for eBay driver requires macOS Sierra (10.12) or above.

Licensing the Driver

In a terminal, run the following commands to license the driver. To activate a trial, omit the <key> input.

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for eBay/bin"
sudo ./install-license.sh <key>

You'll be prompted for a name and password. These refer to your name and your machine's password.

Connecting to eBay APIs

By default, the driver connects to production environments. Set UseSandbox to true to use a eBay sandbox account.

Authenticating to eBay

eBay uses the OAuth 2.0 authentication standard and the Auth'n'Auth, the traditional authentication used by the eBay APIs. To authenticate using OAuth or Auth'n'Auth, depending on how your app is configured, you will need to create an app to obtain the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, DevID, and CallbackURL connection properties. See Using OAuth Authentication for an authentication guide.

Uninstalling the Driver

The easiest way to uninstall the driver is to open a terminal and run the included uninstall.sh script, located in the installation directory. For example:

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for eBay"
sudo ./uninstall.sh

Note: The script needs to be run from the installation directory.
