# IBM Db2 integrations

> Call the IBM Db2 API from any Tray.ai workflow with the HTTP Connector.

**Canonical page:** https://tray.ai/connectors/db2-integrations/
**Categories:** Data and analytics
**Connects through:** HTTP Connector

## Overview

IBM Db2 is a relational database from IBM whose REST server lets you publish SQL statements as REST services and call them over HTTP, returning JSON. Tray.ai connects to IBM Db2 through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the IBM Db2 API alongside the rest of your stack.

## Use cases

### REST services

Read, create, update, and delete rest services in IBM Db2 from any Tray.ai workflow. The IBM Db2 API covers calls such as list services and create a service.

- List services
- Create a service
- Update a service

### Service permissions

Work with service permissions in IBM Db2 from any Tray.ai workflow. The IBM Db2 API covers calls such as grant service permissions and revoke service permissions.

- Grant service permissions
- Revoke service permissions

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping IBM Db2 credentials out of logs

A raw API call usually means pasting a key or token into the request, where it ends up in step inputs, logs, and screenshots.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Store IBM Db2 credentials once as a Tray.ai authentication and reference them from the HTTP Connector. Tray.ai masks authentication values in logs, so the secret never shows up in a step's input or output.

### Going from the IBM Db2 API docs to a working call

Translating an example request from API docs into a workflow step means copying the method, URL, headers, and body by hand.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Paste a cURL example from the IBM Db2 API docs into the HTTP Connector and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and body for you.

### Handling files and non-JSON responses

Not every API answers in JSON. Some return XML, files, or binary data, or expect a multipart upload.

**How Tray.ai helps:** The HTTP Connector parses JSON and XML responses, returns files you can pass to the next step, and sends multipart form data for uploads.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Tray.ai connect to IBM Db2?

Yes. Tray.ai connects to IBM Db2 through the HTTP Connector, which calls the IBM Db2 API directly. Any call the IBM Db2 API documents can run as a step in a Tray.ai workflow.

### How does Tray.ai authenticate with IBM Db2?

The IBM Db2 API uses a bearer token. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.

### Can I get a dedicated IBM Db2 connector?

IBM Db2 runs through the HTTP Connector rather than a dedicated connector. If your team wants one, the Tray.ai connector SDK can build a dedicated IBM Db2 connector from the IBM Db2 API.
