Incubator-superset: [Question] Is there a REST API to pull Dashboard and Slice Views

[sashank]

We are looking for ways to integrate superset into our web application . IFrame is not an option for us (for reasons like security and user experience friction with re-authenticating inside iframe etc. ) and i read from other threads that JS API is still on roadmap but no definitive timelines.

After some analysis , figured out that SuperSet is based on Flask App Builder , and FAB has a REST API to pull the views .

So can anyone help us by answering whether it is trivial to use those API's and pull the Dashboard and Slice Views from Apache Superset ?

@sashank can you please help me telling your findings why you concluded it to be trivial to pull the dashboards via REST API. Thanks

@bipinsoniguavus , each dashboard and slice is accessible via unique URL , check the link embedded in above answer , you need to flex a bit for authentication layer though

Same here, to enable automatic builds that preconfigure some dashboards, it would be great to have an example about how to to so.

Copying from @mistercrunch's answer on #4708 for anyone stumbled upon this thread. Answer is his:

Flask App Builder (FAB) offers a CRUD REST API out of the box for all models.
Check out:

/slicemodelview/api
/slicemodelview/api/read
/dashboardmodelview/api
/dashboardmodelview/api/read

@onlyphantom Actually my requirement is pass the query through an api for fetching the data is there any api available in superset
