A dedicated REST API family has been introduced to enable the programmatic management of dashboards.

  • New Endpoints: The following endpoints are now available to manage dashboards:
  • Clone dashboard
  • Create dashboard
  • Delete dashboard
  • Edit dashboard
  • List dashboard metadata
  • Show dashboard
  • Show dashboard metadata
  • Create token (for sharing dashboards)
  • Edit token
  • Delete token
  • Embedded Views: A dashboard can be almost fully managed by the API endpoints. The exception are view-based widgets as they currently rely on the legacy platform. Once view management via the REST API is available, full support for view-related widgets will be added. Until then, it is recommended to create views separately and reference them with linked view widgets.
  • Unstable endpoints: All dashboard related endpoints are initially placed under the unstable version and therefore subject to change
