devart-dynamics365-connector 1.3.0

New level of functionality and performance in data access via Python

Python Connector for Dynamics 365

Python Connector for Dynamics 365 is a connectivity solution for accessing Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (formerly Dynamics CRM) 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 Dynamics 365 data just like you would normally work with relational databases. Simple queries are directly converted to Dynamics 365 API calls and executed on the Dynamics 365 side.

Connecting

To establish a connection to Dynamics 365, import the connector and authenticate using basic or OAuth 2.0 authentication.

Import the connector

First, import the Dynamics 365 connector module:

import devart.dynamics365 as dynamics365

Establish a connection

Connect to your Dynamics 365 environment using the connect() module method and obtain a connection object.

You can connect to Dynamics 365 using either basic authentication or OAuth 2.0 authentication.

Basic authentication

For basic authentication, provide your Dynamics 365 server URL and authentication credentials:

my_connection = dynamics365.connect(
    Authentication="Basic",    Server="your_dynamics365_url",    UserId="your_username",    Password="your_password"
)

Replace the example values with your actual connection values.

OAuth 2.0 authentication

For OAuth 2.0 authentication, provide your OAuth credentials:

response = dynamics365.signin(Server="your_dynamics365_url")
my_connection = dynamics365.connect(
    Authentication="OAuth",
    Server="your_dynamics365_url",
    RefreshToken=response["Refresh Token"]
)

Replace the example values with your actual connection values.

Querying data

Once connected to Dynamics 365, you can execute SQL queries to retrieve data from your Dynamics 365 data.

Execute a query

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 product")

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

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