Connecting to Drip

To authenticate to Drip, you can use either Token Authentication or the OAuth standard. Use Token authentication to connect to your own data. Use OAuth to allow other users to connect to their data.

Using Token Authentication

To use Token Authentication, specify your APIKey within the ProfileSettings connection property. The APIKey should be set to your Drip personal API Token.

Example connection string

Profile=C:\profiles\Drip.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=my_api_token';

Using OAuth Authentication

First, register an OAuth2 application with Drip. Drip will then supply you with a client id and client secret. Please be aware that you must also enter a valid callback url before you will be able to activate your application.

After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

• AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
• OAuthClientId: Set this to the client id that you got in your app settings.
• OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the client secret that you got in your app settings.
• CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI you specified in your app settings.
• InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.

Example connection string

Profile=C:\profiles\Drip.apip;Authscheme=OAuth;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=my_clientId;OAuthClientSecret=my_clientSecret;CallbackUrl=your_callback_url;
