eBay Analytics Connector for CData Sync

Overview

The CData Sync App provides a straightforward way to continuously pipeline your eBay Analytics data to any database, data lake, or data warehouse, making it easily available for Analytics, Reporting, AI, and Machine Learning.

The eBay Analytics connector can be used from the CData Sync application to pull data from eBay Analytics and move it to any of the supported destinations.

eBay Analytics Version Support

The Sync App leverages the EbayAnalytics API to enable bidirectional access to EbayAnalytics.

Establishing a Connection

Adding a Connection to eBay Analytics

To add a connection to eBay Analytics:

  1. In the application console, navigate to the Connections page.
  2. At the Add Connections panel, select the icon for the connection you want to add.
  3. If the eBay Analytics icon is not available, click the Add More icon to download and install the eBay Analytics connector from the CData site.

For required properties, see the Settings tab.

For connection properties that are not typically required, see the Advanced tab.

Connecting to eBay Analytics

You can establish a connection and authenticate to the eBay Analytics only via the OAuth 2 authentication method. The eBay Analytics API requires an access token created with the authorization code grant flow to authorize the requests.

Authenticating to eBay Analytics

eBay Analytics supports OAuth authentication only. AuthScheme must be set to OAuth in all OAuth flows.

Advanced Features

This section details a selection of advanced features of the eBay Analytics Sync App.

User Defined Views

The Sync App allows you to define virtual tables, called user defined views, whose contents are decided by a pre-configured query. These views are useful when you cannot directly control queries being issued to the drivers. See User Defined Views for an overview of creating and configuring custom views.

SSL Configuration

Use SSL Configuration to adjust how Sync App handles TLS/SSL certificate negotiations. You can choose from various certificate formats; see the SSLServerCert property under "Connection String Options" for more information.

Firewall and Proxy

Configure the Sync App for compliance with Firewall and Proxy, including Windows proxies and HTTP proxies. You can also set up tunnel connections.

Query Processing

The Sync App offloads as much of the SELECT statement processing as possible to eBay Analytics and then processes the rest of the query in memory (client-side).

See Query Processing for more information.

Logging

See Logging for an overview of configuration settings that can be used to refine CData logging. For basic logging, you only need to set two connection properties, but there are numerous features that support more refined logging, where you can select subsets of information to be logged using the LogModules connection property.

eBay Analytics Connector for CData Sync

SSL Configuration

Customizing the SSL Configuration

By default, the Sync App attempts to negotiate SSL/TLS by checking the server's certificate against the system's trusted certificate store.

To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert property for the available formats to do so.

eBay Analytics Connector for CData Sync

Firewall and Proxy

Connecting Through a Firewall or Proxy

HTTP Proxies

To connect through the Windows system proxy, you do not need to set any additional connection properties. To connect to other proxies, set ProxyAutoDetect to false.

In addition, to authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set ProxyAuthScheme, ProxyUser, and ProxyPassword, in addition to ProxyServer and ProxyPort.

Other Proxies

Set the following properties:

  • To use a proxy-based firewall, set FirewallType, FirewallServer, and FirewallPort.
  • To tunnel the connection, set FirewallType to TUNNEL.
  • To authenticate, specify FirewallUser and FirewallPassword.
  • To authenticate to a SOCKS proxy, additionally set FirewallType to SOCKS5.

Data Model

Overview

This section shows the available API resources and provides more information on executing SQL to eBay Analytics APIs.

Key Features

  • The Sync App models eBay Analytics reports as relational views, allowing you to write SQL to query eBay Analytics data.
  • Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to eBay Analytics.
  • Live connectivity to these objects means any changes to your eBay Analytics account are immediately reflected when using the Sync App.

Views

Views describes the available views. Views are statically defined to model CustomerServiceMetricByCategory, CustomerServiceMetricByShippingRegion, SellerStandardsProfile, TrafficReportByDay and TrafficReportByListing.

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to eBay Analytics. Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to eBay Analytics. The eBay Analytics supports only stored procedures related to authentication.

eBay Analytics Connector for CData Sync

UserDefinedViews

A filepath pointing to the JSON configuration file containing your custom views.

Remarks

User Defined Views are defined in a JSON-formatted configuration file called UserDefinedViews.json. The Sync App automatically detects the views specified in this file.

You can also have multiple view definitions and control them using the UserDefinedViews connection property. When you use this property, only the specified views are seen by the Sync App.

This User Defined View configuration file is formatted as follows:

  • Each root element defines the name of a view.
  • Each root element contains a child element, called query, which contains the custom SQL query for the view.

For example:

{
	"MyView": {
		"query": "SELECT * FROM TrafficReportByListing WHERE MyColumn = 'value'"
	},
	"MyView2": {
		"query": "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Id IN (1,2,3)"
	}
}
Use the UserDefinedViews connection property to specify the location of your JSON configuration file. For example:
"UserDefinedViews", C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop\tmp\UserDefinedViews.json
Note that the specified path is not embedded in quotation marks.
