How do I connect Visual Studio Connector to Tweede Kamer (NL) in 5 minutes?

Execute the following steps to connect Visual Studio Connector to Tweede Kamer (NL). You only need knowledge of Visual Studio Connector, your own business and the Tweede Kamer (NL) administration.

Tweede Kamer (the Netherlands) provides Public Data from the Tweede Kamer of the Netherlands, such as members and bills that might evolve to law. The Tweede Kamer is the House of Representatives of the bicameral parliament of the Netherlands. It has 150 members.

No technical knowledge is needed nor knowledge on the Tweede Kamer (NL) APIs to connect Tweede Kamer (NL) to Visual Studio Connector. This step-by-step plan will tell you exactly which steps you need to go through on Invantive Cloud to create your own Azure data warehouse with data from Tweede Kamer (NL).

The steps to connect Visual Studio Connector to Tweede Kamer (NL) are:

  1. Register an Invantive Cloud account.
  2. Create a Tweede Kamer (NL) database.
  3. Make the Tweede Kamer (NL) database available through the Microsoft OData connector.
  4. Connect Visual Studio Connector to Tweede Kamer (NL) through the connector.
  5. Load data from Tweede Kamer (NL) into Visual Studio Connector data warehouse.

Invantive Cloud offers a Tweede Kamer (NL) connector to download data from Tweede Kamer (NL) into Visual Studio Connector, but there are over 75 other connectors available also for SQL, Power BI Desktop, Power BI Service, Power Query and/or Azure Data Factory.

With the Tweede Kamer (NL) connector for Visual Studio Connector you will by default fetch the data from all connected Tweede Kamer (NL) companies in your dashboard. You can limit the number of Tweede Kamer (NL) companies that are retrieved in Visual Studio Connector through the Database settings. For example, you can also limit the connector for Visual Studio Connector to the data from exactly one Tweede Kamer (NL) company. Of course, you can also filter the data by a specific Tweede Kamer (NL) company using a filter step in Visual Studio Connector. The Tweede Kamer (NL) connector for Visual Studio Connector has advanced optimizations for great real-time performance with both a single Tweede Kamer (NL) company as well as with hundreds of Tweede Kamer (NL) companies.

Create Tweede Kamer (NL) database

In this step, we set up a database with data from Tweede Kamer (NL). The database is "virtual" because it is not a traditional database, but is fed real-time from Tweede Kamer (NL). Invantive Cloud provides Visual Studio Connector with a real-time link to Tweede Kamer (NL). The database will be used for all your Tweede Kamer (NL) reporting with Visual Studio Connector. So you only need to perform these steps once.

Congratulations! You can now process data from Tweede Kamer (NL) within the Invantive Cloud website. You can do this for example with the interactive SQL editor.

Grant connection from Visual Studio Connector access to Tweede Kamer (NL)

To retrieve the data from Visual Studio Connector we create a link via Invantive Bridge Online. This creates a "bridge" between the cloud of Invantive and the standard OData connector that is available in every version of Visual Studio Connector. You do not need to install anything locally: no connector, no ado.NET provider and no Visual Studio Connector add-on neither.

Execute the following steps to safely use the data from Tweede Kamer (NL) outside of Invantive Cloud:

  1. Next to the database you will find an orange text requesting you to allow access from your current location (IP address). Select the nearby orange button.

  2. You must completely disable IP address checking by entering an asterisk ("*") since Microsoft Visual Studio Connector consists of hundreds of thousands of servers across the globe.

You are now ready to import the Tweede Kamer (NL) data into Visual Studio Connector.

Configure Visual Studio Connector connector for Tweede Kamer (NL)

You will now pull in Visual Studio Connector data from Tweede Kamer (NL) through the established link.

Please note again that Invantive Cloud under the hood handles all complexity such as setting up credentials such as a refresh token, acquiring an access token, optimizing and parallelizing access, accessing an API within the rate limits, scopes and security restrictions. There is absolutely no need for knowledge on complex technical topics such as OAuth access tokens or API. The Microsoft Azure Data Factory steps, activities and pipelines can be constructed using just the OData feed and basic authentication.

Execute the following steps:

  1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio Connector and select 'Ingest'. Copy Tweede Kamer (NL) data using Microsoft Azure Data Factory activity 'Ingest'

  2. Select 'Built-in copy task'. Built-in copy using Tweede Kamer (NL) as source

  3. Select source type 'OData' and select 'New connection'. OData connection for Tweede Kamer (NL) to Microsoft Azure Data Factory
