Using the module - Python Connector for Salesforce

Using the module

To retrieve data from Salesforce:

1. Import the module.

   import devart.salesforce as salesforce

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

     my_connection = salesforce.connect(
         Authentication="Basic",
         Host="your_org_url",
         UserId="your_username",
         UserPassword="your_password",
         SecurityToken="your_token"
     )

   • If you're using OAuth 2.0 authentication:

     response = salesforce.signin(Host="your_org_url")
     my_connection = salesforce.connect(
         Authentication="OAuth",
         Host="your_org_url",
         RefreshToken=response["Refresh Token"]
     )

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

   my_cursor = my_connection.cursor()

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

   my_cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM employees")

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

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