Dashboard

/api/dashboard endpoints.

Delete the publicly-accessible link to this Dashboard.

PARAMS:

  • dashboard-id value must be an integer greater than zero.

DELETE /api/dashboard/:id

Hard delete a Dashboard. To soft delete, use PUT /api/dashboard/:id

This will remove also any questions/models/segments/metrics that use this database.

PARAMS:

  • id value must be an integer greater than zero.

GET /api/dashboard/

This endpoint is currently unused by the Metabase frontend and may be out of date with the rest of the application. It only exists for backwards compatibility and may be removed in the future.

Get Dashboards. With filter option f (default all), restrict results as follows:

  • all - Return all Dashboards.
  • mine - Return Dashboards created by the current user.
  • archived - Return Dashboards that have been archived. (By default, these are excluded.).

PARAMS:

  • f nullable enum of all, mine, archived.

GET /api/dashboard/:dashboard-id/dashcard/:dashcard-id/execute

Fetches the values for filling in execution parameters. Pass PK parameters and values to select.

PARAMS:

  • dashboard-id value must be an integer greater than zero.

  • dashcard-id value must be an integer greater than zero.

  • parameters value must be a valid JSON string.

GET /api/dashboard/:id

Get Dashboard with ID.

PARAMS:

  • id value must be an integer greater than zero.

  • dashboard-load-id

GET /api/dashboard/:id/params/:param-key/search/:query

Fetch possible values of the parameter whose ID is :param-key that contain :query. Optionally restrict these values by passing query parameters like other-parameter=value e.g.

;; fetch values for Dashboard 1 parameter 'abc' that contain 'Cam' and are possible when parameter 'def' is set
;; to 100
 GET /api/dashboard/1/params/abc/search/Cam?def=100

Currently limited to first 1000 results.

PARAMS:

  • id value must be an integer greater than zero.

  • param-key

  • query value must be a non-blank string.

  • constraint-param-key->value

GET /api/dashboard/:id/params/:param-key/values

Fetch possible values of the parameter whose ID is :param-key. If the values come directly from a query, optionally restrict these values by passing query parameters like other-parameter=value e.g.

;; fetch values for Dashboard 1 parameter 'abc' that are possible when parameter 'def' is set to 100
GET /api/dashboard/1/params/abc/values?def=100.

PARAMS:

  • id value must be an integer greater than zero.

  • param-key

  • constraint-param-key->value

GET /api/dashboard/:id/query_metadata

Get all of the required query metadata for the cards on dashboard.

PARAMS:

  • id value must be an integer greater than zero.

  • dashboard-load-id

GET /api/dashboard/:id/related

Return related entities.

PARAMS:

  • id value must be an integer greater than zero.

GET /api/dashboard/:id/revisions

Fetch Revisions for Dashboard with ID.

PARAMS:

  • id value must be an integer greater than zero.

GET /api/dashboard/embeddable

Fetch a list of Dashboards where enable_embedding is true. The dashboards can be embedded using the embedding endpoints and a signed JWT.

GET /api/dashboard/params/valid-filter-fields

Utility endpoint for powering Dashboard UI. Given some set of filtered Field IDs (presumably Fields used in parameters) and a set of filtering Field IDs that will be used to restrict values of filtered Fields, for each filtered Field ID return the subset of filtering Field IDs that would actually be used in a chain filter query with these Fields.

e.g. in a chain filter query like

GET /api/dashboard/10/params/PARAM_1/values?PARAM_2=100

Assume PARAM_1 maps to Field 1 and PARAM_2 maps to Fields 2 and 3. The underlying MBQL query may or may not filter against Fields 2 and 3, depending on whether an FK relationship that lets us create a join against Field 1 can be found. You can use this endpoint to determine which of those Fields is actually used:

GET /api/dashboard/params/valid-filter-fields?filtered=1&filtering=2&filtering=3 ;; -> {1 [2 3]}

Results are returned as a map of

filtered Field ID -> subset of filtering Field IDs that would be used in chain filter query.

PARAMS:

  • filtered vector of value must be an integer greater than zero.

  • filtering nullable vector of value must be an integer greater than zero.

GET /api/dashboard/public

  • cache_ttl nullable value must be an integer greater than zero.

  • collection_id nullable value must be an integer greater than zero.

POST /api/dashboard/:dashboard-id/dashcard/:dashcard-id/card/:card-id/query

POST /api/dashboard/:dashboard-id/dashcard/:dashcard-id/card/:card-id/query/:export-format

Run the query associated with a Saved Question (Card) in the context of a Dashboard that includes it, and return its results as a file in the specified format.

parameters should be passed as query parameter encoded as a serialized JSON string (this is because this endpoint is normally used to power ‘Download Results’ buttons that use HTML form actions).
