REST API

Introduction

What is the Sisense "REST" API?

Sisense provides advanced users and developers a RESTful web API to most of its server functionalities, from user management to manipulating dashboards & widgets.

A web API can be used in several ways which we will discuss below.

What can I use the Sisense API for?

There are plenty of possible uses, but let's outline the central ones with some examples:

• Use Sisense data in your application or website
  For example: you could implement a widget in your own corporate website that takes data from Sisense using the JSON Analytical Query Language (JAQL) or standard SQL and the query API.

• Automate a process
  For example: you could write a script that adds multiple users from a CSV file, using the users API.

• Implement your own UI on top of Sisense
  For example: you could develop an elaborate dashboard navigation page to function as a "home page" for your organization, using the dashboards API.
