I am buiding an application that will has to provide the users pertinent data from TIBCO Spotfire dashboard for their facility. I am hoping the Spotfire API can be used however I need guidance.

Thanks Shandaliya. It looks like the Ironpython scripts can be run within Spotfire. Is there a way I get the data in JSON via a REST API call from a third party app
