Introduction

Welcome to the Cumul.io API! You can use our API to integrate dashboards within your own applications, create or update datasets, open up new data sources or automate just about anything about your Cumul.io experience.

We offer 3 main APIs that are documented in detail:

Core API: build datasets & dashboards, manage users & groups, send event data to Cumul.io
Integration API: bindings to seamlessly integrate dashboards within your own applications
Plugin API: connect your own data stores or APIs with a flexible data adapter

You can start reading our guides that cover common use cases or dive right into the API specifications for further detail.

All APIs use REST with default HTTP verbs. Content is sent as JSON.

In case of questions, you can reach our team at api@cumul.io -- or via the in-platform chat.

Good luck, and have fun!

Dashboard Integration

Quickstart

Integrating a dashboard in your own application/platform is a simple two-step process, with a server-side and a client-side action.

Generate an authorization token (server-side)
Embed the dashboard in your own application/platform (client-side)

Step 1. Generate an authorization token

Replace with your API key & token, an expiry moment of choice, the id of the dashboard & the id's of the datasets used in the dashboard

curl https://api.cumul.io/0.1.0/authorization \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @- << EOF
{
  "action":"create",
  "version":"0.1.0",
  "key": "< your API key >",
  "token": "< your API token >",
  "properties":{
    "type": "temporary",
    "securables": [
      "< dashboard id >",
      "< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >",
      "< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >"
    ],
    "expiry": "2018-12-31T23:59:59.999Z"
  }
}

const Cumulio = require('cumulio');
var client = new Cumulio({
    api_key: '< Your API key >',
    api_token: '< Your API token >'
  });

let promise = client.create('authorization', {
  type: 'temporary',
  securables: [
    '< dashboard id >',
    '< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >',
    '< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >'
  ],
  expiry: new Date(new Date().getTime() + 300 * 1000)
});

promise.then(function(result){
  // return the result to the client
})

<?php
include('cumulio.php');
$client = Cumulio::initialize('< your API key >', '< your API token >');

$authorization = $client->create('authorization', array(
  'type' => 'temporary',
  'expiry' => (new DateTime())->modify('+5 minutes')->format('c'),
  'securables' => array(
    '< dashboard id >', 
    '< dataset id of a datased used in the dashboard >',
    '< dataset id of a datased used in the dashboard >'
  )
));
?>

import org.json.JSONObject;
import com.google.common.collect.ImmutableList;
import com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap;

private Cumulio client = new Cumulio("< Your API key >","< Your API token >");

private Date expiry = new Date(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() + 5*60*1000);
private SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS");
private sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

private JSONObject authorization = client.create("authorization", ImmutableMap.builder()
  .put("type","temporary")
  .put("expiry", sdf.format(expiry))
    .put("securables", ImmutableList.of(
        "< dashboard id >", 
    "< dataset id of a datased used in the dashboard >",
    "< dataset id of a datased used in the dashboard >"
  ))
  .build()
);

Cumulio client = new Cumulio("< Your API key >", "< Your API token >");

dynamic properties = new ExpandoObject();
properties.type = "temporary";
properties.expiry = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(5);
properties.securables = new List<String> {
  "< dashboard id >", 
  "< dataset id of a datased used in the dashboard >",
  "< dataset id of a datased used in the dashboard >"
};

dynamic authorization = client.create("authorization", properties);
Console.WriteLine("Success!", authorization);

This returns a JSON object with an id/token combination that we will use to integrate:

{ 
  "type": "temporary",
  "id": "< the authorization key >",
  "token": "< the authorization token >"
  // ...
}

In this step, your server-side code makes an API request to retrieve an authorization token. The result of this request is a key/token combination that will be used to in step 2 to securely embed the dashboard in your application/platform.

The API request, is a 'create' request for an authorization. In this example we set an expiry date and define the securables (the dashboard and the datasets used in the dashboard) that we grant access to.

Property	Description
type string	`temporary` Use the value 'temporary' for integrating a dashboard.
securables array	List of id's of securables to which you want to grant access to. It is advised to add this to your request and to limit it to the id of the dashboard you want to integrate and the id's of the dataset(s) used in the dashboard.
expiry date (ISO 8601)	Date/time when this authorization will cease working. Defaults to no expiry. It is advised to only use short-living tokens (max. 24 hours) for maximum security.

You can also add Filters that you want to apply and/or add viewer metadata information. For a list of all properties that you can use in the request, check Authorization in the Core API.

The request returns a JSON object that contains an authorization id & token. This is the key/token combination that will be used in our next step (client-side) to integrate the dashboard in a secure way.

Step 2. Embed the dashboard in your application/platform

Add a container element to your page with DOM ID of my-dashboard.

<div id="my-dashboard"></div>

Add a script to your page to load the dashboard in that container, use the key & token from the previous step.

<script type="text/javascript">
  (function(d, a, s, h, b, oa, rd) {
    if (!d[b]) {oa = a.createElement(s), oa.async = 1;
    oa.src = h; rd = a.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    rd.parentNode.insertBefore(oa, rd);} d[b]=d[b]||{};
    d[b].addDashboard=d[b].addDashboard||function(v) {
    (d[b].list = d[b].list || []).push(v) };
  })(window, document, 'script',
    'https://cdn-a.cumul.io/js/cumulio.min.js', 'Cumulio');

  Cumulio.addDashboard({
    dashboardId: '< Dashboard id you want to embed >',
    container: '#my-dashboard',
    key: '< authorization key from step 1 >',
    token: '< authorization token from step 1 >'
  });
</script>

To integrate a dashboard in your webpage, we use the Integration API.

First, add a DOM element to your body that will act as the dashboard container. Give it an id or a class name so that you will be able to reference it later on.

Once you have the container element in your page, load the dashboard in that container using the javascript snippet. The script will check whether the Integration API is loaded in your webpage. If not, it will be retrieved from our servers.

To add a dashboard to the container in your page the addDashboard function is used. This function uses the generated key/token combination from step 1, together with the id of the dashboard and the selector for the dashboard container to load the dashboard.

Parameter	Description
dashboardId uuid	This is the id of the dashboard that you want to embed.
container string	The DOM selector for identifying the container in which the dashboard will be embedded.
key uuid	The authorization id from step 1.
token string	The authorization token from step 1.

You can (optionally) add extra parameters to choose which screenmode or language will be loaded and/or to style the container when loading the dashboard. This to ensure a perfect fit with the style of your page. For all parameters check the addDashboard function in the Integration API.

That's it! With these steps, you securely integrate a dashboard in your application/platform!

Retrieving a dashboard id
Retrieving a dataset id
Retrieving a column id
Retrieving a chart id
Retrieving an account id
Remove/replace a dashboard
Invalidating tokens

Add Parameters

You can add Parameters to your authorization requests to filter the data in your embedded dashboards.

First you need to create and define the Parameter, after which you can set the Parameter to a value of your choice when creating the authorization request.

Create and define the Parameter

First create the Parameter via the Parameter overview. Input the name, data type and default value for the Parameter.

Once you created the Parameter, use it as a global or chart filter. A global filter is a filter that has effect on every chart in the dashboard, a chart filter is a filter that has effect on only one chart in the dashboard.

Set the Parameter

Your data may be split over databases per client. In such case, you can create multitenant dashboard in Cumul.io using the account_overrides functionality. An account in Cumul.io contains the information that is necessary to access a certain plugin or database. The account_overrides functionality allows you to dynamically override one or multiple of these properties.

You can override the account properties when creating your authorization requests to switch between databases. You could also use this approach to change the user/password in a single database in case your database provides row-level security. Row-level security in this context means that the database can automatically filter out rows based on the credentials.

You can use the account_overrides if you are using one of the standard Cumul.io connectors (MySQL, PostgreSQL, ...) as well as if you are using a Plugin to connect your data.

Property	Description
type string	`temporary` Use the value 'temporary' for integrating a dashboard.
securables array[uuid]	List of id's of securables to which you want to grant access to. It is advised to add this to your request and to limit it to the id of the dashboard you want to integrate and the id's of the dataset(s) used in the dashboard.
expiry date (ISO 8601)	Date/time when this authorization will cease working. Defaults to no expiry. It is advised to only use short-living tokens (max. 24 hours) for maximum security.
account_overrides object	Let this token override the connection to one or more data connections (to a Plugin or database). You can use this to dynamically route requests to different endpoints (eg. the correct endpoint per client in a single-tenant setup). All overrides are optional -- if not specified, the value as configured on the original Account will be used instead.
account_id object	The database account id for which you want to override properties as property name.
host string	The new database host to connect to. The database must be of the same type as the originally configured database.
port string	The new port to connect to.
user string	The new user to use when connecting.
password string	The new password to use when connecting.
schema string	The new schema to retrieve data from.
table string	The new table to retrieve data from.
account_id object	The Plugin account id for which you want to override properties as property name.
base_url string	The new base URL that will be called.
host string	The new host value that will be sent as X-Host header to the Plugin.
key string	The new key value that will be sent as X-Key header to the Plugin.
token string	The new token value that will be sent as X-Token header to the Plugin.
table string	The new canonical dataset identifier defined in the Plugin to retrieve data from.

An initialization filter is a type of filter that initializes a filter on a certain filter object (slider, search and select box, ...) in an embedded dashboard. This means that the specified filter will be applied when the dashboard loads, but it can still be turned off or modified afterwards.

To do this, extend the code snippet used in step 1 by adding a filters parameter to the request.

For an initialization filter, it is not needed to specify the securable_id or column_id in the filters parameter. This is because a filter object can have multiple columns, coming from different datasets.

Property	Description
type string	`temporary` Use the value 'temporary' for integrating a dashboard.
securables array[uuid]	List of id's of securables to which you want to grant access to. It is advised to add this to your request and to limit it to the id of the dashboard you want to integrate and the id's of the dataset(s) used in the dashboard.
expiry date (ISO 8601)	Date/time when this authorization will cease working. Defaults to no expiry. It is advised to only use short-living tokens (max. 24 hours) for maximum security.
filters array[object]
clause string	Timing of application of the filter. Possible values: `where` (applied before aggregation/grouping, for example, only select rows with a specific price), `having` (applied after aggregation/grouping, for example, to select only groups in which the total price exceeds a specific value)
origin string	This parameter specifies the level to apply the filter. For an initialization filter, this parameter should be set to `initialization`.
chart_id uuid	The id of the chart you want to apply the filter to. This chart needs to be contained in the dashboard you specified in the `securables` parameter.
expression string	The expression to be used in your filter formula. The possible filter expressions are: `? IN ?`, `? IS NOT IN ?`, `? = ?`, `? != ?`, `? > ?`, `? >= ?`, `? < ?`, `? <= ?`, `IS NULL` and `IS NOT NULL`.
value number, string, boolean, array	Value to insert in the filter.

Set language, screenmode or timezone

Set language

<div id="my-dashboard"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  (function(d, a, s, h, b, oa, rd) {
    if (!d[b]) {oa = a.createElement(s), oa.async = 1;
    oa.src = h; rd = a.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    rd.parentNode.insertBefore(oa, rd);} d[b]=d[b]||{};
    d[b].addDashboard=d[b].addDashboard||function(v) {
    (d[b].list = d[b].list || []).push(v) };
  })(window, document, 'script',
    'https://cdn-a.cumul.io/js/cumulio.min.js', 'Cumulio');

  Cumulio.addDashboard({
    dashboardId: '< Dashboard id you want to embed >',
    container: '#my-dashboard',
    key: '< authorization key >',
    token: '< authorization token >'
    language: '< language code >'
  });
</script>

When you have built a multi-lingual dashboard, you can specify what language to use when integrating a dashboard in your web page.

This can be set in the addDashboard function by adding the language parameter to the function.

Parameter	Description
dashboardId uuid	This is the id of the dashboard that you want to embed.
container string	The DOM selector for identifying the container in which the dashboard will be embedded.
key uuid	The authorization id from step 1.
token string	The authorization token from step 1.
language string	`en`, `cs`, `da`, `de`, `es`, `fi`, `fr`, `he`, `hu`, `it`, `ja`, `ko`, `mk`, `nl`, `pl`, `pt`, `ru`, `sv`, `zh_cn` or `zh_tw` The language code that you wish to use in the dashboard. If that language code is not configured in the dashboard, the default language of that dashboard will be used.

For all possible parameters, check the addDashboard function in the Integration API.

Set screenmode

<div id="my-dashboard"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  (function(d, a, s, h, b, oa, rd) {
    if (!d[b]) {oa = a.createElement(s), oa.async = 1;
    oa.src = h; rd = a.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    rd.parentNode.insertBefore(oa, rd);} d[b]=d[b]||{};
    d[b].addDashboard=d[b].addDashboard||function(v) {
    (d[b].list = d[b].list || []).push(v) };
  })(window, document, 'script',
    'https://cdn-a.cumul.io/js/cumulio.min.js', 'Cumulio');

  Cumulio.addDashboard({
    dashboardId: '< Dashboard id you want to embed >',
    container: '#my-dashboard',
    key: '< authorization key >',
    token: '< authorization token >'
    screenmode: '< fixed/mobile/tablet/desktop/largeScreen/auto >'
  });
</script>

Dashboards can have multiple screenmodes and can be made responsive. This means that for a dashboard you can specify different layouts (even different charts) depending on the dashboard container size. By default, the Integration API detects the right screenmode based on the width of the container, and auto-switches to the right screenmode if it exists.

But if you specifically want to use only one screenmode, you can specify that screenmode in the addDashboard function by adding the screenmode parameter to the function.

Parameter	Description
dashboardId uuid	This is the id of the dashboard that you want to embed.
container string	The DOM selector for identifying the container in which the dashboard will be embedded.
key uuid	The authorization id. See step 1.
token string	The authorization token. See step 1.
screenmode string	`fixed`, `mobile`, `tablet`, `desktop`, `largeScreen` or `auto`. The default is 'auto'. If the screenmode is set (fixed, mobile, tablet, desktop or largeScreen) and available, that screenmode will be used. This also means that the dashboard will not auto-resize or switch to other screenmodes if the size of the container changes.

For all possible parameters, check the addDashboard function in the Integration API.

Set timezone

<div id="my-dashboard"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  (function(d, a, s, h, b, oa, rd) {
    if (!d[b]) {oa = a.createElement(s), oa.async = 1;
    oa.src = h; rd = a.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    rd.parentNode.insertBefore(oa, rd);} d[b]=d[b]||{};
    d[b].addDashboard=d[b].addDashboard||function(v) {
    (d[b].list = d[b].list || []).push(v) };
  })(window, document, 'script',
    'https://cdn-a.cumul.io/js/cumulio.min.js', 'Cumulio');

  Cumulio.addDashboard({
    dashboardId: '< Dashboard id you want to embed >',
    container: '#my-dashboard',
    key: '< authorization key >',
    token: '< authorization token >'
    timezoneId: '< timezone id >'
  });
</script>

You can override the dashboard timezone that was set in the dashboard editor when integrating a dashboard in your web page. This can be done in the addDashboard function by adding the timezoneId parameter to the function.

The provided timezone id needs to be a valid id that is available in the IANA timezone database, for example: Europe/Brussels or America/New_York.

Parameter	Description
dashboardId uuid	This is the id of the dashboard that you want to embed.
container string	The DOM selector for identifying the container in which the dashboard will be embedded.
key uuid	The authorization id from step 1.
token string	The authorization token from step 1.
timezoneId string	`Europe/Brussels`, `America/New_York`, ...

Set loader style

When you load a page that has an embedded dashboard or chart, the dashboard first has to be retrieved from our servers. During this process, a loading indicator is shown.

This loader can be completely customized to match the styling of your website or platform.
You can change the color of the background, the color of the font, the color of the spinner itself and the background of the spinner, as well as the color of the Cumul.io logo shown at the bottom.

<div id="my-dashboard"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  (function(d, a, s, h, b, oa, rd) {
    if (!d[b]) {oa = a.createElement(s), oa.async = 1;
    oa.src = h; rd = a.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    rd.parentNode.insertBefore(oa, rd);} d[b]=d[b]||{};
    d[b].addDashboard=d[b].addDashboard||function(v) {
    (d[b].list = d[b].list || []).push(v) };
  })(window, document, 'script',
    'https://cdn-a.cumul.io/js/cumulio.min.js', 'Cumulio');

  Cumulio.addDashboard({
    dashboardId: '< Dashboard id you want to embed >',
    container: '#my-dashboard',
    key: '< authorization key >',
    token: '< authorization token >'
    loader: {
      background: '< background of the loader >',
      fontColor: '< font color of the loader >',
      spinnerColor: '< color of the spinner in the loader >',
      spinnerBackground: '< background of the spinner in the loader >',
      logoColor: '< color of the logo in the loader >'
    }
  });
</script>

These colors can be specified in three ways: hex, rgb or rgba.
For example: for the color red, the hex value is #ff0000, the rgb value is rgb(255, 0, 0) and the rgba value is rgba(255, 0, 0, 1).

Parameter	Description
dashboardId uuid	This is the id of the dashboard that containts the chart you want to embed.
container string	The DOM selector for identifying the container in which the dashboard will be embedded.
key uuid	The authorization id. See step 1.
token string	The authorization token. See step 1.
loader object	These parameters style the container while loading the dashboard.
background string	(optional) The background color (hex, rgb or rgba) of the container while loading the dashboard.
fontColor string	(optional) The font color (hex, rgb or rgba) of the messages while loading the dashboard.
spinnerColor string	(optional) The color (hex, rgb or rgba) of the spinner while loading the dashboard.
spinnerBackground string	(optional) The background (hex, rgb or rgba) of the spinner while loading the dashboard.
logoColor string	(optional) The color (hex, rgb or rgba) of our logo while loading the dashboard.

Chart integration

<div id="my-dashboard"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
  (function(d, a, s, h, b, oa, rd) {
    if (!d[b]) {oa = a.createElement(s), oa.async = 1;
    oa.src = h; rd = a.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    rd.parentNode.insertBefore(oa, rd);} d[b]=d[b]||{};
    d[b].addDashboard=d[b].addDashboard||function(v) {
    (d[b].list = d[b].list || []).push(v) };
  })(window, document, 'script',
    'https://cdn-a.cumul.io/js/cumulio.min.js', 'Cumulio');

  Cumulio.addDashboard({
    dashboardId: '< Dashboard id you want to embed >',
    container: '#my-dashboard',
    key: '< authorization key >',
    token: '< authorization token >'
    chartId: '< Chart id you want to embed >'
    chartDimensions: {width: '600px', height: '400px' }
  });
</script>

It is possible to embed only a certain chart, instead of embedding the entire dashboard. To do so, you have to specify the id of the chart in the addDashboard function. Simply add the chartId parameter to the function.

By default, the chart will fill the available width of the container, and the height will be sized according to the height of the chart in your dashboard.

You can specify a fixed width and height for your chart by adding the optional chartDimensions parameter to the addDashboard function. Please refer to the table below for a more detailled explanation about setting the dimensions of a chart.

Parameter	Description
dashboardId uuid	This is the id of the dashboard that containts the chart you want to embed.
container string	The DOM selector for identifying the container in which the dashboard will be embedded.
key uuid	The authorization id. See step 1.
token string	The authorization token. See step 1.
chartId uuid	This is the id of the chart that you want to embed.
chartDimensions object	(optional) The desired dimensions of the single chart that you want to embed. By default it uses the dimensions of the chart in the dashboard. For this parameter it is required to specify a chartId.
width string	The width in pixels, e.g. `600px` or `auto`. When `auto` is used, the chart will take up the available width or the container and resize when the container resizes.
height string	The height in pixels, e.g. `400px`. When `auto` is used, the chart height will be sized according to the current screenmode of the dashboard, which is determined by the current width of the container.

For all possible parameters, check the addDashboard function in the Integration API.

Retrieving a dashboard id

The dashboard id is a unique identifier for that dashboard.

You can retrieve the id of a dashboard in the 'settings' tab of the dashboard editor, on the right hand side of the screen.
At the bottom of the tab, you will find the dashboard id.

Retrieving a dataset id

The dataset id is a unique identifier for that dataset.

You can retrieve the id of a dataset in the 'data' tab of the dashboard editor, on the right hand side of the screen.
At the bottom of the tab, you will find the dataset id.

Retrieving a column id

The column id is a unique identifier for that column.

You can retrieve the id of a dataset column by hovering over the chart and clicking the table icon that appears next to it. You will now see an overview of all slots (columns) used in this chart. Click the gear icon next to the slot you want to know the id of, and then click the grey info circle.
At the bottom of the modal, you can find the column id. Additionally, you can also find the id of the parent dataset here.

Retrieving a chart id

The chart id is a unique identifier for that chart.

You can retrieve the id of a chart by hovering over the chart and clicking the gear icon that appears next to it. By doing this you will enter the item settings.
At the bottom of the tab, you will find the chart id.

Retrieving an account id

The account id is a unique identifier for that account. An account contains the information that is necessary to access a certain plugin or database.

You can retrieve the id of an account in the Connected accounts tab of your Profile.

Remove/replace a dashboard

It is not possible to add two or more dashboards to the same container. If you want to replace the dashboard currently embedded in a container, you have to remove it first. Then, you can add the new dashboard to that same container.

To do this, you can use the removeDashboard and addDashboard functions of the Integration API.

Invalidating tokens

curl https://api.cumul.io/0.1.0/authorization \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @- << EOF
{
  "action":"delete",
  "version":"0.1.0",
  "key": "< your API key >",
  "token": "< your API token >",
  "properties":{
    "id": "< the authorization key to invalidate >"
  }
}
EOF

const Cumulio = require('cumulio');
var client = new Cumulio({
    api_key: '< Your API key >',
    api_token: '< Your API token >'
  });

let promise = client.delete('authorization', {
  id: '< the authorization key to invalidate >'
});

You can invalidate the authorization tokens that you requested at any moment, before their specified expiry time.

For example, you could use this to invalidate all generated tokens for a user when that user clicks on the log out button on your website or platform.

Parameter	Description
id uuid	This is the id (key) of the token you want to invalidate.

Interacting with data

Connecting

Replace with your API key and token.

In curl, there is no need for an initial authentication. 
Use your API key & token in every API call.

const Cumulio = require('cumulio');
var client = new Cumulio({
  api_key: '< your API key >',
  api_token: '< your API token >'
});

<?php
include('cumulio.php');
$client = Cumulio::initialize(
  '< your API key >',
  '< your API token >'
);
?>

private Cumulio client = new Cumulio("< Your API key >","< Your API token >");

Cumulio client = new Cumulio("< Your API key >", "< Your API token >");

To get started, please make sure you have installed and are using the correct SDK for your preferred programming language.

You can find full-file examples for your preferred language on the GitHub pages.

For curl, there is no SDK provided, you can specify your API key and token in every curl request.

Retrieving datasets/dashboards

Retrieving all columns of a particular dataset

In this particular example, we will use an API call to return a list of the id's, names and contents of all dashboards in your Cumul.io account.

Additionally, if applicable, for every dashboard the URL of the 512px dashboard thumbnail is added to the returned data.

This examples shows that you can also use a where specifier in the include parameter.

For an overview of all possible parameters of the dashboard entity, please refer to the full specification.

Parameter	Description
type string	The type of securable to be retrieved. Can be `dashboard` or `dataset`.
where object	(optional) A condition the entity should fulfill. This condition can be specified on any field of the entity. If this parameter is omitted, no filtering will be applied and all matches will be included in the response. To filter on columns of type date, pass your dates in the yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS format.
attributes array[string]	(optional) The attributes of the entity to be included. If this parameter is omitted, all attributes will be included in the response.
include array[object]	(optional)
model string	The name of an associated entity to be included. A full list of API entities and its associated entities can be found in the Core API section.
attributes array[string]	(optional) The attributes of the associated entity to be included in the response. If this parameter is omitted, all attributes will be included in the response.
where object	(optional) A condition the associated entity should fulfill. This condition can be specified on any field of the entity. If this parameter is omitted, no filtering will be applied and all matches will be included in the response.

It is possible in Cumul.io to create a dataset programmatically by just sending a sample the 'data' endpoint.

In order to create it, the sample will be analyzed to determine the types of the different columns. To give names to your dataset and columns there is a header and a name option provided. The code sample on the right will create a new dataset and create 4 columns. To make sure that the types are detected correctly it is advised to send a good sample for the initial creation where each column has at least a few values.

Behind the scenes, this call is creating a securable and columns. In case you want full control on the creation of securables and columns you can also create them manually by following the Creating datasets manually guide.

Creating datasets manually

Creating a new dataset

Console.WriteLine("Dataset created with ID " + securable.id);

You can create datasets and their metadata programmatically via the API. In this case, we first build a new Securable (this is a dataset or dashboard).

The name and description are localized strings: use them to provide translations of dataset or dashboard titles, columns and other metadata. You can retrieve the most recent set languages from the locale entity.

For an explanation of the dataset entity and its possible parameters, please refer to the full specification.

Creating a column and immediately linking (associating) it with a dataset

Cumulio client = new Cumulio("< Your API key >", "< Your API token >");

client.associate("column", "< your column id >", "securable", "< your dataset id >", new ExpandoObject());

Alternatively, you could explicitly associate both new entities at a later time.

You can do this by using the associate action on the Column entity, and specifying an instance of a Securable entity as the resource parameter.

Console.WriteLine("Success!", data);

Regardless of how you created the dataset and columns (manually or automatically) you can append or replace the data by providing the securable_id and setting the type to 'append' or 'replace' as shown in the second and third example on the right. As long as the update_metadata boolean is disabled, this will never change anything to your columns. Setting hte type to replace will replace the data in the dataset. Every row in your data parameter should have exactly the same amount of entries as there are columns in your dataset. For more information on how to find the id of a dataset, please refer to this section.

When pushing data, the dashboards that are viewing this data will be automatically brought up to date.

In case you want to automatically add/remove/update columns (use this with care), you can set the 'update_metadata' boolean to true. For example, in the third example on the right, two columns are removed and a new column is added.

Just like the charts on your dashboards request data in real-time, you can interrogate your data within the platform as well.

For example, to retrieve the total number of burritos savoured per type of burrito.

A more elaborate example: let’s record the weight per burrito as another numeric measure.

We want the weights to be classified in 10 equal sized bins, for example [50, 100[ grams, [100, 150[ grams.

Now we want to retrieve the top 5 weight classes by number of burritos savoured, but only for burritos that are of the type ‘spicy’.

External data changes

This code snippet notifies Cumul.io that a dataset has changed via an external source:

const Cumulio = require('./cumulio');
var client = new Cumulio({
  api_key: '< your API key >',
  api_token: '< your API token >'
});

client.update('data', '< your dataset id >');

<?php
include('cumulio.php');
$client = Cumulio::initialize(
  '< your API key >',
  '< your API token >'
);

$client->update('data', '< your dataset id >', array());
?>

import com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap;

private Cumulio client = new Cumulio("< Your API key >","< Your API token >");

client.update("data", "< your dataset id >", ImmutableMap.of()));

Cumulio client = new Cumulio("< Your API key >", "< Your API token >");

client.update("data", "< your dataset id >", new ExpandoObject());

When you push data points into a dataset that is stored in Cumul.io, all dashboards are brought up-to-date immediately. To also have real-time updates to dashboards that use data providers like relational databases, you can notify Cumul.io when data changes via the Update action on the Data entity.

For example, you can do this call from within your RDBMS with a trigger on update, eg. via curl.

Core API

Introduction

This document describes the Core API which is also used by the Cumul.io application. As a client, you have access to the same API that we used to build Cumul.io. That means that you can automate everything:

Access rights management to dashboards/datasets for users/groups/organizations.
Loading and synchronization of datasets and setting up database connections.
Create hierarchies or add translations for existing datasets.
Set up automatic reporting schedules.
Script dashboards, or use the query API to drive a custom dashboard component.

Schema

Below you can see the resources that can be accessed/created/updated/deleted via the API and how they are connected to each other:

The graph shows which resources can be associated/dissociated. When resources are associated, you can include the associated resource in a get or query request.

Actions

The core API defines actions that can be called on the resources. The api call of a specific action is standardized which means that you access each resource in a similar way. In total, 6 types of actions are defined:

Create

Get

List

Update

Delete

Associate

Dissociate

Not every action is supported on every resource (e.g. you can not delete a Dataprovider). The rest of this documentation will provide information on the call signature for each action and will then go into details with concrete examples for each combination of resource and action.

Create

Get and List are the same call. The reason why we differentiate between a Get and a List action is that different security rules apply. A user who can get a resource can't necessarily list the same resource. Get And List have a different structure than the other calls since it allows for complex queries. A call is considered to be a get actions if you fetch an entity using a specific id in the where clause, else it is considered to be a list actions. The query syntax is very close to SQL, it consists of the following attributes:

Parameter

Description

resource:

string

The lowercase name of the resource we want to delete

query:

object

A query object consisting of SQL-like keywords such as: where, include, attributes, order

attributes:

string[]

instead of returning all attributes, limit the set of attributes to the given list

where:

object[]

Filter the selection, each where statement has to match

include:

object[]

embed a connected object in the results, within an include you can again use where, include, attributes

order:

array[]

Order on attributes. Either provide only an attribute and 'desc' or 'asc' to filter on a top-level attribute. or provide models in the beginning of the array if you want to target the attribute of an embedded resource.

Connect

The API is available via WebSocket or via REST. We provide several client libraries for different languages.

Token

In order to connect you will need to retrieve your API key and API token and connect your client. You can get these here. There are multiple types of tokens: for more information on the types of tokens or how to get a token programmatically, refer to the Authorization Resource.

SDKs

   Connect to the REST API

var Cumulio = require('cumulio');
var client = new Cumulio({
  api_key: '< your API key >',
  api_token: '< your API token >'
});

   Connect to the REST API

include("cumulio.php");
Cumulio client = new Cumulio(
  "< your API key >",
  "< your API token >"
);

   Connect to the REST API

<?php
include('cumulio.php');
$client = Cumulio::initialize(
  '< your API key >',
  '< your API token >'
);
?>

   Connect to the REST API

export $CUMULIO_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export $CUMULIO_API_TOKEN="your-api-token"

curl https://api.cumul.io/0.1.0/<entity>  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @- << EOF
{
 "action": "<your-action>",
 "key": "$CUMULIO_API_KEY",
 "token": "$CUMULIO_API_TOKEN",
 "version": "0.1.0",
 ...
}
EOF

   Connect to the REST API

Cumulio client = new Cumulio("< Your API key >","< Your API token >");

The libraries below are built around the REST API. The code and installation instructions for each language can be found on Github:

NodeJS

Php

Java

These libraries require a connection step where you provide the api key and token to get started. Sometimes the token has to be one for a specific user. For example binding a locale to a User requires you to be owner of that user. You can take ownership by using the login/api token of that specific user.

You can also access our API without a library using pure rest calls in which case you have to pass the api key and token on each call. For pure REST examples you can refer to the curl examples.

Resources

Authorization

Authorizations are tokens that grant access to the Cumul.io platform. Tokens can be created in a cascaded way but are always ultimately tied to a single User. Authorizations are subservient to groups and users. If a user for which you make a token has no access to a certain dashboard or dataset then an authorization token made by this user will also not have access to these resources, regardless of the filters. Of course it is possible to combine the mechanisms of groups, users and authorizations. Just like groups and users, authorizations have very powerful filters that allow filtering on the granularity of datasets/dashboards as well as at the row level of datasets.

Properties

Parameter

Description

uuid

Unique key of the authorization (automatically assigned)

type

string

Authorization type. Either login, api or temporary. You can only create temporary authorizations with an API authorization.

expiry

datetime or string

Date/time when this authorization will cease working. This is the hard (maximum) expiry time of the token, after which it will *always* invalidate. Defaults to 9999-12-31 (no expiry). We advise to set a short expiry time, eg. 24 hours.

You can also use a duration string like 60 minutes or 1 day. The expiry will then be calculated from the current time.

inactivity_interval

integer or string

Duration of inactivity (in seconds) after which the token is prematurely invalidated. You can use this to invalidate tokens quickly when the session is ended (eg. all open dashboards are closed). A value of 0 means no automatic invalidation due to inactivity (the token will only expire based on the value in expiry). Defaults to 0.

Wee advise not to set the interval to a value smaller than 2 minutes, to avoid accidental invalidation for a dashboard that is still open, eg. when a heartbeat signal sent to the server is missed.

You can also use a duration string like 5 minutes or 25 minutes.

array[string]

List of IP addresses or subnets. Both IPv4 and IPv6 IPs and subnets can be used. Leave empty to disable IP whitelisting. Eg.: ["123.45.67.89", "123.45.66.0/4", "2001:db8:0:1:1:1:1:1"]

securables

array[uuid]

List of Securable identifiers to give access to. If empty, the authorization can be used to access all Securables to which the User from which the authorization derives has access. It is advised to always explicitly list all Securables. Eg.: ["4db23218-1bd5-44f9-bd2a-7e6051d69166", "f335be80-b571-40a1-9eff-f642a135b826"]

filters

array[object]

List of data filters to apply when data queries are performed with this authorization. This can be used with multitenanted datasets to ensure end-clients can only access their own data.

clause

string

Timing of application of the filter. Possible values: where (applied before aggregation/grouping, for example, only select rows with a specific price), having (applied after aggregation/grouping, for example, to select only groups in which the total price exceeds a specific value)

origin

string

Level to apply the filter. Possible values: global (row-level security, exclude specific rows from users), initialization (initialize an interactive filter within a dashboard to a particular value, but the end-user can override the filter value)

securable_id

uuid

In case of global filter:
Dataset id to filter.having (applied after aggregation/grouping, for example, to select only groups in which the total price exceeds a specific value)

column_id

uuid

In case of global filter:
Column id to filter.

chart_id

uuid

In case of initialization filter:
Chart id to initialize.

expression

Which filter to apply. Possible values: ? = ?, ? > ?, ? >= ?, ? < ?, ? <= ?, ? in ?, ? not in ?, ? is null, ? is not null.

value

string

Value to insert in the filter.

screenmode

string

Screen mode of dashboards to use. Either desktop, tablet, mobile, largeScreen, fixed. If empty, the window size will be used to determine the screen mode.

locale_id

string

Locale of dashboards to use, if that locale is available. Eg. nl. This is a shorthand form to set the Authorization - Locale association. If empty, the optimal locale will be automatically determined

timezone_id

string

Timezone id for dashboards to use, if that timezone id exists. This timezone id needs to be a valid id that is available in the IANA timezone database, for example: Europe/Brussels or America/New_York. This is a shorthand form to set the Authorization - Timezone association.

width

string

Optional width the dashboard should take, e.g. 800px.

height

string

Optional height the dashboard should take, e.g. 600px.

username

string

Viewer metadata: username of the end-user.

name

string

Viewer metadata: name of the end-user.

string

Viewer metadata: email address of the end-user.

metadata

object

Use this parameter to set a parameter filter or specify optional Viewer metadata. This must be a valid JSON object with a maximum length of 10 000 characters.

account_overrides

object

Let this token override the connection to one or more data connections (to a Plugin or database). You can use this to dynamically route requests to different endpoints (eg. the correct endpoint per client in a single-tenant setup). All overrides are optional -- if not specified, the value as configured on the original Account will be used instead.

< account id >

object

The Plugin account id for which you want to override properties as property name.

base_url

string

The new base URL that will be called.

host

string

The new host value that will be sent as X-Host header to the Plugin.

key

table

string

The new canonical dataset identifier defined in the Plugin to retrieve data from.

account_overrides

object

< account id >

object

The database account id for which you want to override properties as property name.

host

string

The new database host to connect to. The database must be of the same type as the originally configured database.

port

string

The new port to connect to.

user

string

The new user to use when connecting.

password

string

The new password to use when connecting.

schema

string

The new schema to retrieve data from.

table

string

The new table to retrieve data from.

last_used_at

datetime

(Read-only) Timestamp of the last API call of this authorization. Can be delayed up to 5 minutes.

Actions

Create

Get

List

Delete

Remember that an authorization is always immutable and therefore only supports Create, Get and Delete. It is possible though to associate using create fields which is explained further on. An authorization token can only be associated to the user that created it and is automatically associated to that User. Locale on the other hand is set using a property locale_id and cannot be updated after creation.

Action: Create

   Example of creating a technical user to start creating temporary tokens. The result will contain a Login token that you can use to request an Api token. Make sure it is added to the correct organization using the invite code so it has access to your organizations resources

Create

can be executed by:

Logged-in User

There are 3 types of tokens that you can create programmatically or manually:

These are the tokens reserved for real users when you are manually authenticating to the platform. Via the API you will only come into contact with them when you create a new user programmatically. A new user result will contain a login token, this login token can be exchanged to an API token.

programmatic: the only way to create a new login token is to create a new user. Create User

manual: login tokens can't be created manually

API tokens

API tokens can be used to programmatically create and update entities, push new data points or create temporary tokens

programmatic: use a valid 'login' token to create an authorization token of type 'api'

manual: create on the Integration management page

Temporary tokens

authorizations can be used to temporarily delegate access to one or more datasets and dashboards to a third party (for example, an end-user within your own SaaS product). They can only be created with a valid API authorization. Temporary tokens can have access restrictions to limit the range of IP addresses that can get access, which securables can be accessed, which data filters are automatically applied to all queries, ...

programmatic: use a valid 'api' token to create an authorization of type 'temporary'

manual: you cannot create temporary tokens via the UI

The table above shows that there are two options to get started with an API token. Either you create a new user and use the login token to get a new API token or you request an API token via the Integration management page. Temporary tokens can then be created using this API token.

List

can be executed by:

Authorization Owner

Authorization tokens can be fetched the same way as other resources types can be retrieved. However, you can only get the authorization tokens for which you are the entity owner (if you have created them, you are the entity owner by default), Besides of that you can not list login or temporary tokens, you can retrieve them if you know the specific id using a where clause.

Delete is the same for each resource, the only parameters required are the resource type and the uuid of the entity you want to delete.

Associations

Authorizations are only connected to Locale and User. However, both associations are special cases since 'associate' or 'dissociate' are not available due to the immutability of authorizations.

Associate: User

   newly created associations are immediately associated with the user that created them, the response contains the user_id, this is the only way to associate users

Authorization

User

Associate

requires:

Authorization Owner

When associating authorizations there are two things to keep in mind. First is that associations are immutable and thus the 'associate' call cannot be called directly. Secondly, the link between authorizations and users is implicit, while you can associate in the 'create' action as well, this is not possible for users. Authorizations are associated automatically. to the user who created them, you will never call the 'associate' call directly and cannot associate them to someone else than the creator.

Associate: Locale

   Example of the creation of an 'authorization' resource and immediately associating it to a locale using a locale_id

JSONObject authorization = client.create("authorization",

  ImmutableMap.of(
    "type" , "temporary",
    "securables" , ImmutableList.of(
      "< dashboard id >"
    )

Authorization

Locale

Associate

requires:

Authorization Owner

Connecting a locale to an authorization is implicit. Instead of creating an association, we set the locale_id directly in the properties which will create an association for us. By connecting a locale you can determine in which locale the user will see a dashboard when the token is used for embedding, to get more information on how to embed a dashboard refer to the Integration API

User

A registered Cumul.io user; note that creating new users can lead to additional charges for your current or next billing cycle. Any anonymous user or organization owner can create new users. You can only view users within your own organization. Only the user him/herself and the organization owner can view the e-mail address or update a user. Only an organization owner can delete a user.

Organization Owner

Any new user that is created without invite code is automatically assigned to a new organization. Users can be created by anyone (even without a login token) in order to bootstrap the process to create a new organization from scratch. An organization owner can then retrieve the invite code in order to add a new user directly to the organization. This is the only way to add users to your organization, you can't associate users to organizations after their creation.

Get

can be executed by:

User Owner

Organization Member

List

can be executed by:

Organization Member

A user can retrieve (get) itself but cannot list other users. Using the 'include' syntax you can include information on other resources which are connected to user. Organization owners can list all users of their organization and can of course get specific users as well.

Action: Delete

   An organisation owner can delete a user using the id

client.delete("user", "<your user id>");

   An organisation owner can delete a user using the id

$client->delete("user", "<your user id>");

   An organisation owner can delete a user using the id

let promise = client.delete('user', '<your user id>');

   An organisation owner can delete a user using the id

<?php
$client->delete('user', '<your user id>');
?>

   An organisation owner can delete a user using the id

Securable Owner

and

Logged-in User

A user can be linked to a dashboard to give him access to that dashboard. To start associating, note that a dashboard is a subclass of securable so we use securable in the calls. The association has flag properties to define what kind of access the user will receive. In order to start associating datasets with users, you already need to be resource owner. That means that you either created the dataset or received access from someone that associated you with the dashboard using the flagOwn = true property. That way it is possible to set multiple owners for a dashboard.

Groups can be used to give a group of users access to securables (dashboards or datasets). When associating a user with a group there are flags available that describe the kind of relation. Adding a user in a group without setting any flags will not have any effect. Only the owner of a group can add members to the group. The user who created the group automatically becomes an owner of the group.

Organization

The link between Organizations and Users is also a special case. You can't add users to an organization once the users are made. The only way to add users to an organization is on creation time by using an invite code. As shown in the code samples, the invitecode can be retrieved by getting your organization through the API.

If you use a correct invite code, the association between the organization and user will be made implicitely. Later on you can fetch the users of your organization using the 'include' syntax in a get call.

Users can be associated to countries. This simply informs the platform on the country of residence of the user. Countries can also be associated to organizations which serve as a default for the users of that organization. Just like locale, a country associated with user directly will take priority.

Dissociating is similar for all resources. To break the link between two resources, simply provide the resource names and ids. Be careful that the 'role' of a resource is uppercase and usually plural. Dissociating can be done in both directions.

Group

Division or group within or across the bounds of organizations. Groups have administrators and members and can be assigned access rights to datasets or dashboards.

The creating user of a group is automatically given group owner rights. Groups can be created by any user. Only group owners can update or delete a group, or associate or dissociate new group members.

Get

can be executed by:

Group Member

List

can be executed by:

Group Member

Groups can only be retrieved by group members or owner. They are linked to Securables (Dashboard/Dataset) and users which can be included in the results. For example we could do a query to get all members of a group or retrieve all securables that a group has access to. Note that you will only receive the included entities to which you have access, for example you will only receive users in the group that are in your organization. Although you can add users outside of your organization to a group, you can not list their details.

Groups can be used to give a group of users access to securables (dashboards or datasets). In order to do so, the group has to be associated with the securables to give access. Several flags on the association you to control the type of access. An association without providing flags will not have effect.

Organization

Each user belongs to precisely 1 organization (company or association). Billing plans and invoices are managed on the organization-level. Several things are restricted within an organization. For example a user can't list users from another organization and dashboards/datasets are by default not accessible to other users. However, in case it is necessary to share securables cross organization, securables can be associated directly to a user or group.

An organization can not be made explicitly. The first user that you make determines your organization. Every new user that is created via the API either creates a new organization or is added to an existing organization via an inviteCode. If you need to bootstrap an organization programmatically this means you have to:

Create the first user (which will create a trial)
Retrieve the organization using the user id
Update the organization details

This mechanism can be used to create organizations for your clients or bootstrap your organization completely from code.

Dataset

Contains the metadata associated with a single dataset.

The creating user is automatically given owner rights on the dataset. Any user can create new datasets. Only users with modify rights (either directly granted or via one or more groups) can update the dataset. This endpoint only creates datasets, to push data to the datasets you first have to add columns o the dataset with the column endpoint (Column) and then use the data endpoint to push data to the dataset.

Properties

Parameter

Description

uuid

Unique key of the dataset (automatically assigned)

type

string

Type of the securable, either dataset or dashboard

subtype

string

(Read-only) Creation type of the securable. Defaults to api

name

localized

Title of the dataset or dashboard, shown in the dataset or dashboard header

subtitle

localized

Secondary title of the dashboard, shown in the dashboard header

description

localized

Long-form description of the dataset or dashboard, shown in the dataset or dashboard listings

cache

integer

Defaults to 0. Number of seconds queries to this dataset are cached in Cumul.io's caching layer. Use 0 to disable caching for this dataset entirely. Note that queries might still not be cached if there are other uncached data connectors or datasets called in a query. You can invalidate the cache before the expiry time by calling the update method on the data endpoint.

rows

integer

(Read-only) Total number of rows accessible within this dataset.

modified_at

datetime

(Read-only) Last modification date of the dataset or dashboard.

Action: Create

   Creation of a dataset

JSONObject securable = client.create("securable",

  ImmutableMap.of(
    "type" , "dataset",
    "name" , ImmutableMap.of(
      "en" , "<title of your dataset>"
    ),

    ),
    "description" , ImmutableMap.of(
      "en" , "<description of your dataset>"
    )
  ));
System.out.println("Success! %s%n", securable);

   Creation of a dataset

dynamic properties = new ExpandoObject();
properties.type = "dataset";
properties.name = new {
      en = "<title of your dataset>"
    };
properties.subtitle = new {
      en = "<subtitle of your dataset>"
    };
properties.description = new {
      en = "<description of your dataset>"
    };

dynamic securable = client.create("securable",    properties);
Console.WriteLine("Success!", securable);

   Creation of a dataset

client.create('securable',
  {
    type: 'dataset',
    name: {
        en: '<title of your dataset>'
    },
    subtitle: {
        en: '<subtitle of your dataset>'
    },
    description: {
        en: '<description of your dataset>'
    }
}

)
  .then(function(securable) {
    console.log('Success!', securable);
  });

   Creation of a dataset

<?php
$securable = $client->create('securable',

  array (
    'type' => 'dataset',
    'name' => array (
      'en' => '<title of your dataset>'
    ),

Create

can be executed by:

Logged-in User

Any user with an API token can create a dataset. The user that creates the dataset will be automatically associated as the owner. Note that the creation of a dataset simply creates a securable of a certain type with properties such as name, title and description. To actually add data to the dataset you also have to create columns, associate them to the dataset and push data to the dataset.

Action: Update

   Update the name of a dataset

JSONObject securable = client.update("securable", "<your securable id>", 
  ImmutableMap.of(
    "name" , ImmutableMap.of(
      "en" , "<new title of your dataset>"
    )
  ));

   Update the name of a dataset

dynamic properties = new ExpandoObject();
properties.name = new {
      en = "<new title of your dataset>"
    };

dynamic securable = client.update("securable", "<your securable id>", );

   Update the name of a dataset

client.update('securable',
  '<your securable id>',
  {
    name: {
        en: '<new title of your dataset>'
    }
}
)
  .then(function(data) {
    console.log('Success!', data);
  });

   Update the name of a dataset

<?php
$user = $client->update('securable', '<your securable id>', 
  array (
    'name' => array (
      'en' => '<new title of your dataset>'
    )
  ));

  "properties": {
  "name": {
    "en": "<new title of your dataset>"
  }
}
}
EOF

Update

can be executed by:

Securable Modifier

Only the owner of the dataset can update the dataset. Other users can be made owner by associating them with the dataset and using the 'flagOwner'.

Action: Get

   Retrieve all datasets together with the users and groups that have access (only users and groups that you can access)

JSONObject data = client.get("securable", 
  ImmutableMap.of(
    "where" , ImmutableMap.of(
      "type" , "dataset"
    ),
    "include" , ImmutableList.of(

        )
      ),

      ImmutableMap.of(
        "model" , "User"
      )
    )
  ));

   Retrieve all datasets together with the users and groups that have access (only users and groups that you can access)

dynamic query = new ExpandoObject();
query.where = new {
      type = "dataset"
    };
query.include = new List<Object> {

      new {
        model = "Group",
