devart-bigcommerce-connector 1.1.0

New level of functionality and performance in data access via Python

Python Connector for BigCommerce

Python Connector for BigCommerce is a connectivity solution for accessing BigCommerce from Python applications to read and update data. It fully implements the Python DB API 2.0 specification. The connector is distributed as a wheel package for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Standard SQL syntax

The connector fully supports the ANSI SQL standard and lets you execute SQL statements against your BigCommerce data just like you would normally work with relational databases. Simple queries are directly converted to BigCommerce API calls and executed on the BigCommerce side. Complex queries are transformed into simpler queries, which are then converted to BigCommerce API calls. The embedded SQL engine then processes the results in the local cache and applies advanced SQL features from the original complex query.

Using the connector

To retrieve data from a database:

Import the module.

import devart.bigcommerce

Connect to a database using the connect() module method and obtain a connection object: If you're using basic authentication:

my_connection = devart.bigcommerce.connect(
    Version="Ver2",
    Authentication="Basic",
    Server="your_bigcommerce_url",
    UserId="your_username",
    AuthenticationToken="your_auth_token"
)

If you're using OAuth 2.0 authentication:

my_connection = devart.bigcommerce.connect(
    Version="Ver2",
    Authentication="OAuth",
    StoreId="your_store_hash",
    ClientId="your_client_id",
    AccessToken="your_access_token"
)

Create a cursor object using the cursor() connection method.

my_cursor = my_connection.cursor()

Execute the SQL statement using the execute() cursor method.

my_cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM employees")

Retrieve the result set using one of the fetch*() cursor methods.

for row in my_cursor.fetchall(): 
    print(row)
