How to call these Dataiku APIs from Spotfire in order to display predictions Spotfire dashboards

[Kumud K]

Hi All,

A Models use a Dataiku API. Is there a way to use this models APIs to send requests from Spotfire also, so we can have predictions displayed in our Spotfire dashboards too. How to call these APIs from Spotfire.  Could you share any link or blogs to understand the Dataiku API and Spotfire Integration

Thanks

Dear Kumud,
Thanks for your post.

Spotfire doesn't provide an out of the box integration with DataIKU DSS (Data Science Studio) but since both solutions provide public REST APIs it is possible to implement a two-ways integration. Indeed, like Spotfire, Dataiku provides a comprehensive REST API that allows one to interact with various aspects of the platform programmatically.

1. From DSS to Spotfire
   •  It is possible to implement a DSS plug-in that reads data from a Spotfire information link and uses that data in DSS workflows
   •  It is also possible to programmatically (via the Spotfire Library REST API)  write data into Spotfire library for further analysis in the dashboards. 
2. From Spotfire to DSS
   • Spotfire provides Data Functions to execute custom scripts or queries against external data sources, including REST APIs.
   • You'll need to create a Data Function that utilizes the Dataiku API to perform the desired actions, such as retrieving datasets or executing machine learning models.

There are examples of such platform integrations with KNIME and Spotfire Team Studio.

For the implementation, we'll need to familiarize ourselves with the Dataiku and Spotfire API documentation
