Query the Accelo API using regular SQL

You're a developer. You're perfectly capable of connecting to the Accelo API and pulling down data. But why waste your time building an API integration when your skills and time are better spent elsewhere?

API integrations are hard to build and maintain. But with SyncHub, you can query your data source using a language you know and love - SQL.

How it works

Get your Accelo data into your favourite reporting tool in just two minutes and three easy steps.

1 2 3 Connect Accelo to SyncHub

Securely connect your cloud software to SyncHub and we'll do the rest.

1 2 3 We sync your data automatically

SyncHub incrementally syncs your data and stages it in a managed data warehouse (yours, or we'll provide one for free). We check for changes so you don't have to.

1 2 3 Build your customized reports

Query and share your data using our built-in Insights platform, or use your own reporting tools like Excel, Tableau or Power BI.

No ODBC driver required

SyncHub runs in the cloud, 24×7. There are no ODBC drivers to install or maintain, and no local computer required to cache your results. Just securely connect SyncHub to your Accelo account and you can be querying your data in just a couple of minutes.

BYOD

Want more power? How about views, stored procedures or triggers? No problem - SyncHub's Bring Your Own Database feature gives you complete control over your database.

Real-time data*

Make a change in Accelo and query it via SQL within minutes. Our feed is so quick, you'll think you're querying Accelo directly!

Your data is secure

Your Accelo data is stored using best-practice security protocols. But if you're still concerned, no worries - just use our BYOD (Bring Your Own Database) option when setting up your account.

Frequently asked questions

Not directly, no. But SyncHub's ERD model, combined with the real-time* sync from Accelo, means that it is essentially the same as querying directly.
No. Our solution is cloud-hosted, meaning no installs are required on your own computers. Furthermore, because it is cloud-hosted, SyncHub runs in the background 24-7, keeping your data up to date while you sleep.
If your SQL skills are a little rusty, we've got you covered too. Our AI-powered Query Assistant uses knowledge of your Accelo data model to create SQL queries for you - just describe your problem and watch the magic happen.
SyncHub can poll Accelo as frequently as every five minutes, however this capability may be limited by the amount of data you have and/or the type of plan you have with Accelo. The best way to find out is to simply grab a free trial of SyncHub, connect Accelo, then see for yourself.
No. SyncHub is a reporting tool and cannot reflect changes back to your cloud application.
We currently sync Activity, Address, Affiliation, Asset, Asset type, Company, Contact, Asset custom field, Job custom field, Issue custom field, Prospect custom field, Division, Expense, Expense type, Filter, Group, Invoice, Invoice item, Issue, Job, Job profile field, Job type, Milestone, Object budget, Payment, Prospect, Rate, Staff, Affiliation status, Company status, Issue status, Job status, Prospect status, Task status, Tag, Task, Activity time allocation, Activity priority, Activity class, Activity staff interaction, Activity contact interaction, Country, State, Asset custom field value, Asset custom field option, Job custom field option, Issue custom field option, Prospect custom field option, Issue custom field value, Job custom field value, Job profile field value, Prospect type, Prospect probability and Prospect custom field value (see our Data Model for full details). If there's something else you need just ask.
Your Accelo data is stored in its own dedicated data warehouse, hosted in our Microsoft Azure Sydney Data Center. If you'd like it stored somewhere else (even your own servers), just enquire about our BYOD (bring-your-own-database) option.
Absolutely. Every customer gets their very own isolated data warehouse. Database credentials are salt-encrypted...multi-factor authentication can be activated for your account...we take security very seriously. You can read more about our security best practices here.

* Realtime

SyncHub's engine polls for changes every 5 minutes. However, different APIs, and different endpoints within those APIs, may impose restrictions beyond our control - thereby reducing the fidelity of your real-time feed.
