How to fetch the dashboard details through REST API

[Arun Varma]

Hi,

Post creating the dashboard content in spotfire, how to fetch the meta data of the dashboard through REST API?

Thanks

Hello,

If you explain in a bit more detail what type of meta data are you looking for, the community gurus here may be able to provide you with some guidance.

At a high level, for accessing data about Library content, you should look into if the Library Service, which is a SOAP based service, can give you what you need. The community page "REST API to Upload SBDF Files to the TIBCO Spotfire® Library" (https://community.spotfire.com/s/article/rest-api-upload-sbdf-files-tibco-spotfirer-library) may give you a starting point.

Thank you for your support.

We are looking for below endpoints to access the dashboard content:

1. Need REST API to authenticate with TIBCO Spotfire
2. Need REST API to fetch the dashboard details (dashboard URL, Id, Name, Description, etc) with authentication bearer previously received through Authentication endpoint
3. Need REST API to get the user details (if possible)
4. The dashboard URL which we get from point 2 would like to embed in your webpage with created/modified by user details.

Hello again,

Sounds like you should definitely take a look at the Library Service then.

E.g. take a look at the LibraryItem Class, which provides methods for accessing various metadata
