To use Apache Superset’s APIs for custom extensions or integrations, follow these steps:
1. Familiarize yourself with the RESTful API documentation available on the official Superset website to understand the endpoints and their functionalities.
2. Set up authentication by obtaining an access token using your Superset credentials. Make a POST request to the “/api/v1/security/login” endpoint with your username and password in the payload.
3. Use the obtained access token as a Bearer token in the Authorization header for subsequent API requests.
4. Interact with various resources like dashboards, charts, and datasets through CRUD operations using appropriate API endpoints (e.g., “/api/v1/dashboard”, “/api/v1/chart”, “/api/v1/dataset”).
5. For custom extensions, create new components that utilize the API calls to fetch data from Superset and render it according to your requirements.
6. To develop integrations, leverage the API endpoints to connect Superset with external systems, such as BI tools, data warehouses, or other applications.
