These are the docs for the Metabase master branch. Some features documented here may not yet be available in the latest release. Check out the docs for the latest version, Metabase v0.52.
Embedded analytics SDK - versions
⚠️ This feature is in beta. Feel free to play around with it, but be aware that things might change (and may not work as expected).
Embedded analytics SDK is only available on Pro and Enterprise plans (both self-hosted and on Metabase Cloud). You can, however, play around with the SDK on your local machine without a license by using API keys to authenticate your embeds.
The SDK stable version tracks with the Metabase version.
So, for example, if you’re on Metabase 51 (0.51.x, 1.51.x), any version 0.51.x of the @metabase/embedding-sdk-react npm package will be compatible.
To simplify things, we publish dist-tags for each stable Metabase version, starting from Metabase 51,51-stable. To install the latest version of the SDK compatible with Metabase 51, run:
npm install @metabase/embedding-sdk-react@51-stable
To grab the latest version of the SDK that works with Metabase nightly builds, use the canary dist-tag.
Version pinning when using the SDK with Metabase Cloud
To pin your version of Metabase, go to Admin settings > Settings > Embedding. Go to the Embedded analytics SDK card and scroll to Version pinning and click Request version pinning.
Version pinning requirements
To pin a version of Metabase, you must:
- Be on Metabase Cloud (obviously)
- Be on the Pro or Enterprise plans
Why you’d want to pin your Metabase Cloud version
Normally, Metabase Cloud upgrades your Metabase as new versions roll out so that you don’t have to deal with upgrades.
But if you’re using the SDK with Metabase Cloud, you’ll want to upgrade manually to make sure your embeds don’t break when you upgrade both your Metabase and your SDK version.
To upgrade manually, you can pin your Metabase version so that it stays in sync with the SDK version you’re using. You can choose when to upgrade your Metabase.
