Export visualization (graphics) by API

[a1k0u]

Hello everyone I'm new in redash. This service has a good API! How about exporting visualizations for dashboards\queries by API? I think that many users will found use cases with this feature, for example: automatic (scripted) export of graphics to chats, social networks and other places.

At current version I can only download graphics on client, but this process is difficult to automatize on server.

That could be an interesting thing. Would you be ok to describe what you reckon the interaction between the user (client utility or whatever) and the server would be like?

Maybe something like:

• client makes a call to http://redash/some_url_here
• server responds with

I'm trying to understand your request better. 😄

How about this?

Client makes a call to https://redash.company.com/{visualization_id}/png?parameter1=x&parameter2=y

Passing in the API key

The server returns the binary information of the png image (base64 encoded).

I am also interested in something along those lines ...

Ahhh, that's more concrete and able to be understood. 😄
