Superset's official embedded SDK and guest-token system only support dashboard embedding — there's no dedicated chart-embed feature with its own config. However, you can embed a single chart using the Explore URL with standalone=1, which strips the surrounding UI and shows only the chart visualization [1] [2].

Simplest approach — iframe with standalone=1:

<iframe src="https://your-superset-url/explore/?slice_id=<CHART_ID>&standalone=1"></iframe>

This doesn't require any special feature flags or config changes, but the user viewing the iframe must be logged in to Superset (or have a valid session).

If you need unauthenticated / guest access, the workaround is to create a dashboard containing just that one chart and use the official embedding flow. In that case you'd need these settings in superset_config.py:

FEATURE_FLAGS = {
    "EMBEDDED_SUPERSET": True,
}

# CSP: allow your host app to iframe Superset
TALISMAN_ENABLED = True
TALISMAN_CONFIG = {
    "content_security_policy": {
        "frame-ancestors": ["'self'", "https://your-app.example.com"],
        # ... other directives
    }
}

Then use the @superset-ui/embedded-sdk package with embedDashboard() and a guest token from POST /api/v1/security/guest_token/ [3] [4]. You can hide the dashboard title and tabs with dashboardUiConfig: { hideTitle: true, hideTab: true } so it looks like a standalone chart.

TL;DR: For a quick chart embed with logged-in users, just use the iframe + standalone=1. For guest/public access, wrap the chart in a single-chart dashboard and use the embedded SDK.

Yes, you can embed a chart directly without using a dashboard. The iframe URL approach with standalone=1 is the correct method — no special feature flag is needed for this. Here's what you need to configure in superset_config.py:

1. Allow anonymous/public access (so users viewing the iframe don't need to log in):

AUTH_ROLE_PUBLIC = "Public"
PUBLIC_ROLE_LIKE = "Gamma"

After setting this, run superset init to sync permissions. Then grant the Public role explicit access to the dataset(s) your chart uses via the Superset UI [1].

2. Allow iframe embedding (CSP frame-ancestors):

TALISMAN_ENABLED = True
TALISMAN_CONFIG = {
    "content_security_policy": {
        "frame-ancestors": ["'self'", "https://your-app-domain.com"],
        # keep other default directives as needed
    }
}

This tells the browser it's okay to load Superset inside an iframe on your app's domain [2].

3. Your iframe:

<iframe src="https://your-superset-url/explore/?slice_id=<CHART_ID>&standalone=1"></iframe>

You can find the slice_id (chart ID) in the Superset UI — it's visible in the chart's URL when you open it in the Explore view.

Important notes:

• standalone=1 strips all the Explore UI chrome and shows only the chart visualization [3].
• If you don't need public/anonymous access and your users already have Superset sessions, you can skip step 1 — the iframe will work as long as the user is logged in.
• You do not need EMBEDDED_SUPERSET = True — that feature flag is only for the dashboard embedding SDK, not for direct chart iframe embedding [4].
