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 support@cumul.io.

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": "24 hours",
    "inactivity_interval": "10 minutes",
    "username": "< A unique identifier for your end user >",
    "name": "< end-user name >",
    "email": "< end-user email >"
  }
}
EOF

   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

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: '24 hours',
  inactivity_interval: '10 minutes',
  username: '< A unique identifier for your end user >',
  name: '< end-user name >',
  email: '< end-user email >'
});

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

   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

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

$authorization = $client->create('authorization', array(
  'type' => 'temporary',
  'expiry' => '24 hours',
  'inactivity_interval' => '10 minutes',
  'securables' => array(
    '< dashboard id >', 
    '< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >',
    '< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >'
  ),
  'username' => '< A unique identifier for your end user >',
  'name' => '< end-user name >',
  'email' => '< end-user email >'
));
?>

   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

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 JSONObject authorization = client.create("authorization", ImmutableMap.builder()
  .put("type","temporary")
  .put("expiry", "24 hours")
  .put("inactivity_interval", "10 minutes")
    .put("securables", ImmutableList.of(
        "< dashboard id >", 
    "< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >",
    "< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >"
  ))
  .put("username", "< A unique identifier for your end user >")
  .put("name", "< end-user name >")
  .put("email", "< end-user email >")
  .build()
);

   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

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

dynamic properties = new ExpandoObject();
properties.type = "temporary";
properties.expiry = "24 hours";
properties.inactivity_interval = "10 minutes";
properties.securables = new List<String> {
  "< dashboard id >", 
  "< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >",
  "< dataset id of a dataset used in the dashboard >"
};
properties.username = "< A unique identifier for your end user >";
properties.name = "< end-user name >";
properties.email = "< end-user email >";

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.
username string	(optional but recommended) The username of the end-user. This will be used to uniquely identify a Monthly Active Viewer (MAV) for your Organization. If not provided, functional session cookies will be used to distinguish MAVs.
name string	(optional) The name of the end-user.
email string	(optional) The email address of the end-user.

You can also set an initialization filter that you want to apply to a certain filter object 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.

You can find your account_id by going to Profile > Connected Accounts and looking for your account. Alternatively you can perform an API call to get your account_ids.

Note that to MySQL the concepts database and schema are identical. So when overriding a database / schema for MySQL, make sure to pass the same value for both schema and database.

You can also use account_overrides to override the host, key and/or token properties of the following built-in plugins: AWS Athena, BigQuery, Clickhouse, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, Oracle and Snowflake.

email string	(optional) The email address of the end-user.
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.
database string	The new database to retrieve data from. Note that to MySQL the concepts database and schema are identical. So when overriding a database / schema for MySQL, make sure to pass the same value for both `schema` and `database`
schema string	The new schema to retrieve data from. Note that to MySQL the concepts database and schema are identical. So when overriding a database / schema for MySQL, make sure to pass the same value for both `schema` and `database`
table string	The new table to retrieve data from.
datasets object	List of dataset-level overrides. Useful if you want to override only a single table in your dashboard or if you have a separate table per client. The SQL query of the dataset can also be overridden if it's a SQL dataset within Cumul.io. Allowing you to call stored procedures for example.
dataset_id string	The dataset (securable) ID that you want to override.
table string	The new table to retrieve data from.
schema string	The new schema to retrieve data from.
sql string	The new SQL query to run. NOTE: the columns returned in the new query need to conform to the same schema as the original dataset.
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.

When creating authorization tokens, it is possible to include viewer metadata in the request.

This allows you, for example, to audit who viewed which dashboards.

To do this, extend the code snippet used in step 1 by adding optional properties username, name, email and metadata to the request.

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.
username string	(optional but recommended) The username of the end-user. This will be used to uniquely identify a Monthly Active Viewer (MAV) for your Organization. If not provided, functional session cookies will be used to distinguish MAVs.
name string	(optional) The name of the end-user.
email string	(optional) The email address of the end-user.
metadata array	(optional) Additional metadata can be added in this property.

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 on a filter object, 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.

You can also set initialization filters on chart objects. This pre-selects a portion of the chart when the dashboard opens. The structure in this case is slightly different: you need a column_id and a securable_id. You also need to make sure that the values you are passing are contained in an array.

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.
username string	(optional but recommended) The username of the end-user. This will be used to uniquely identify a Monthly Active Viewer (MAV) for your Organization. If not provided, functional session cookies will be used to distinguish MAVs.
name string	(optional) The name of the end-user.
email string	(optional) The email address of the end-user.
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.
column_id string	(Only needed in case of a non-filter object) The column to apply the filter to
securable_id string	(Only needed in case of a non-filter object) The dataset to apply the filter to

    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]||{};

    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.

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.

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

   Replace with your API key and token.

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

   Replace with your API key and token.

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

   Replace with your API key and 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.

   Example of uploading data and creating the dataset + columns on the fly by detecting types from the sample

data = client.create("data",

    }
})

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

  fr = "< dataset description in French >"
};

dynamic securable = client.create("securable", properties);
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

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.

   Append data to a dataset by using 'update_metadata: true' with a header with a different set of columns. Given that there are  4 columns (Burrito, price, weight, order type), this call would introduce a new column 'newColumn' and remove weight and order type. Careful. This will delete the data from these two columns. You can also opt to update the name fo the dataset

dynamic properties = new ExpandoObject();
properties.securable_id = "< Your securable id >";
properties.type = "append";
properties.data = new List<Object> {

      new List<Object> {
        "Fresh new burrito ",
        "3",
        "500",
        "menu"
      },

      new List<Object> {
        "Guacarrito",
        "3.5",
        "700",
        "menu"
      }

      },
      name = new {

    };

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

print("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 the 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.

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. These bins will be made by equally dividing the range between the minimum and maximum values in the column specified.

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’.

discretization with bins is currently only supported on datasets stored in our OLAP (i.e. locally uploaded datasets). You can disable the binning of numeric columns by setting discretization to type "none".

External data changes

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

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

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.

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 >");

   Connect to the REST API

from cumulio.cumulio import Cumulio
client = 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

Python

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.

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.

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 action if you fetch an entity using a specific id in the where clause, else it is considered to be a list action. 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 get or list

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.

Associate two entities to each other, eg. link a Column to a Dataset. Associations can be set in both directions. Many associations are automatically set on creation as well, for example a dashboard is automatically associated with the user that created the dashboard. To know which resources can be associated please refer to the schema at the beginning of this chapter Schema).

Parameter

Description

id:

uuid

The uuid of the resource you want to associate with another resource

resource:

object

An object indicating which resource type (role) and which entity (id)

role:

string

the role of the to-be-associated resource which is usually the capitalized plural name of the resource e.g. 'Users', 'Organizations'

id:

Resources

Account

Accounts contain the information necessary to access a certain plugin (e.g. Teamleader, Google Drive, your own custom plugin, etc..) or database The easiest to understand what a plugin is to show you what part of the UI makes an account (see the screenshot below). When you add a database connection and click 'connect' an account is created to make sure you can connect when you retrieve datasets later on.

Note that accounts employ a general terminology to accommodate both different plugins as dataproviders. Eg. a token in Cumul.io terminology corresponds to a 'password' in a DB, where a scope in Cumul.io terminology refers to the 'database' in a db which can have a different meaning in a plugin.

Properties

Parameter

Description

uuid

Unique key of the account (automatically assigned)

provider

string

Type of data provider to retrieve data from. Either the 'slug' of a plugin, e.g. googleanalytics, googledrive, quandl, salesforce, mailchimp, etc... the slug of your own plugin or one of a database such as 'postgresql'. Slugs are unique short names for plugins and dataproviders (such as dbs)

date

datetime

Date/time this account was linked by the user. Defaults to the current date.

expiry

datetime

Expiry date of the credentials.

scope

string

Provider-specific description of services used (eg. which accesses were granted, which database is used, ...).

host

string

Endpoint of this account. For relational database connections, this corresponds to the hostname of the database.

active

boolean

Indicates whether queries may be sent to this database or plugin connection. You can use this field to eg. temporarily disable any connections / queries. This might be useful in case of elevated stress on your systems.

invalid

boolean

Read-only. Indicates whether this connection has been disabled because the source system reported that the used credentials are invalid.

token

boolean

Token or password of this account.

identifier

string

Key or username of this account.

cache

integer

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

code

string

(Update-only) OAauth2 authorization code used to retrieve an access token and refresh token.

User

Account

Associate

requires:

Account Owner

and

User Owner

This is a special case similar to many entities that are linked to user. The association to the creating user is automatically added when a new account is created.

Alert

Alerts allow a user to be notified when some interesting condition on their data is met. A simple example is an email send to the sales team when the quarterly sales target has been exceeded.

The core elements of an alert are the query that checks the condition and the communication channels through which a notification will be send.

The query can be any valid query that could be send to the data service. When the query returns at least one row, the condition is assumed to have been met and the alert is fired.

A single alert can have multiple configured channels. Each will receive a message when the alert fires. Currently only email is supported as a channel, but more will follow.

Properties

Parameter

Description

uuid

Unique key of the alert (automatically assigned)

name

Title of the alert

query

json

The query to execute

frequency

json

Defines the frequency at which the condition is checked. Consists of a json object containing 2 properties: 'unit'(minute, hour, day, week, month, quarter, year) and 'quantity'

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.

We 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 for the complete dataset), chart (row-level security, exclude specific rows from users for a single chart), 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 or chart filter:
Dataset id to filter.

column_id

uuid

In case of global or chart filter:
Column id to filter.

chart_id

uuid

In case of initialization or chart 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.

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: The username of the end-user. This will be used to uniquely identify a Monthly Active Viewer (MAV) for your Organization. If not provided, functional session cookies will be used to distinguish MAVs.

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. To clear a parameter (deactivate it on the dashboard), pass in the special value {"clear": true}

theme

object

Optional JSON definition of a theme to apply to the dashboard

css

string

Optional CSS override to apply to the dashboard. The CSS gets appended to the existing CSS overrides in the dashboard.

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

(optional) The new base URL that will be called.

host

string

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

key

string

(optional) The new key value that will be sent as X-Key header to the Plugin.

token

string

(optional) The new token value that will be sent as X-Token header to the Plugin.

table

string

(optional) 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

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

port

string

(optional) The new port to connect to.

user

string

(optional) The new user to use when connecting.

password

string

(optional) The new password to use when connecting.

schema

string

(optional) The new schema to retrieve data from. Note that to MySQL the concepts database and schema are identical. So when overriding a database / schema for MySQL, make sure to pass the same value to both schema and database

database

string

(optional) the new database to retrieve data from. Note that to MySQL the concepts database and schema are identical. So when overriding a database / schema for MySQL, make sure to pass the same value to both schema and database

table

string

(optional) The new table to retrieve data from.

datasets

object

(optional) List of dataset-level overrides. Useful if you want to override only a single table in your dashboard or if you have a separate table per client. The SQL query of the dataset can also be overridden if it's a SQL dataset within Cumul.io. Allowing you to call stored procedures for example.

< dataset id >

object

The dataset (securable) ID that you want to override.

table

string

(optional) The new table to connect to

schema

string

(optional) The new schema to connect to.

sql

string

(optional) The new SQL statement to use. NOTE: the columns returned in the new query need to conform to the same schema as the original dataset.

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 API token of an organization owner which has access to your organization's resources

JSONObject user = client.create("user",

  ImmutableMap.of(
    "name" , "Technical User",
    "email" , "technical-user@cumul.io",
    "password" , "... random password ..."
  ));
String login_token_key = user.getJSONObject("token").getString("id");
String login_token = user.getJSONObject("token").getString("token");

dynamic properties = new ExpandoObject();
properties.name = "Technical User";
properties.email = "technical-user@cumul.io";
properties.password = "... random password ...";

dynamic user = client.create("user",    properties);

// The user contains a new login token
Console.WriteLine("Token Key is {0}", user["token"]["id"]);
Console.WriteLine("Token is {0}", user["token"]["token"]);

   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 API token of an organization owner which has access to your organization's resources

client.create('user',

}

)
  .then(function(user) {
    var login_token_key = user.token.id;

   Temporary token  (client created with API token) An example showing how temporary access can be granted for a user with an initialization filter. 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.

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.

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: Locale

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

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

Authorization

User

Associate

requires:

Authorization Owner

When associating authorizations there are two things to keep in mind. First is that authorizations 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.

Column

A column contains the metadata (type, name) of a specific column in a dataset.

Properties

Parameter

Description

uuid

Unique key of the column (automatically assigned)

name

localized

Column name

order

integer

Sorting order of this column (eg. 0, 1, 2). This is a required field.

source_name

string

The original name of the column. This property will be set automatically when uploading a dataset or when creating a dataset via the data push API. You can set it manually when creating a column via API, but the value cannot be changed afterwards.

type

string

Column type (numeric, datetime, hierarchy or spatial). Can be modified at any time with immediate effect for all historical and new data.

subtype

string

For columns of type spatial: indicates the subtype of the column. Can be either topography or coordinates.

format

string

Default formatting, used to present data in charts or tables.

For numeric type: d3.js numeric formats (eg. ,.2f for 2 decimals and thousand separator marks)
For hierarchy type: ''
For datetime type: d3.js time formats (eg. %d-%m-%Y)

informat

string

Default informat, used to interpret raw input data. Can be modified at any time with immediate effect for all historical and new data.

For numeric type: numeric or percentage
For hierarchy type: hierarchy
For datetime type, either:
- YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS (ISO-style)
- MM-DD-YYYY HH:mm:ss.SSS (US-style)
- DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm:ss.SSS (EU-style)
- X (UNIX timestamp, seconds since 1/1/1970)
- x (UNIX timestamp, milliseconds since 1/1/1970)
The actual data can have a different input format (eg. different separators, named months, ...). The informat only indicates the order of parsing.

hierarchy_enabled

boolean

When this boolean is set, hierarchies can be used in the dashboard editor and dashboards. If you are experimenting with Hierarchies you can keep this disabled until you want them to be visible/usable. If you only use hierarchies to override colors/names/ordering, keep it disabled. More information can be found in Hierarchy

colors_enabled

boolean

When this boolean is set, colors set via the hierarchy endpoint will override colors in the dashboard. This allows you to add colors to data values to make sure that the dashboard colors are data driven. More information can be found in Hierarchy

ordering_enabled

boolean

(Coming soon) You can set a custom order for values via the hierarchy which can be disabled/enabled using this boolean. These can then be used to override ordering in the dashboard. This feature is currently in progress Hierarchy

color

string

Default color for the column, in hexadecimal string notation, eg. #45AB7C

isLabel

boolean

Whether this column contains labels used for topographic features (eg. municipality names). Defaults to false.

minBound

datetime

(Read-only) Smallest datetime over all rows

maxBound

datetime

(Read-only) Largest datetime over all rows

cardinality

integer

(Read-only) Number of distinct values within this column. Note: this value is approximate to within 1.625%.

lowestLevel

integer

(Datetime only) Most precise datetime level used in the source data (1 - year, 9 - millisecond). The dashboard editor will only allow these levels to be used as slots.

minimum

integer

(Read-only, numeric only) Smallest value over all rows

maximum

integer

(Read-only, numeric only) Largest value over all rows

expression

string

Derived column expression. Must be a valid expression.

version

integer

(Read-only) Version indicator, increments on each change

width

integer

Data table column header width (in pixels). Defaults to 170.

Column

In Cumul.io you can link two datasets to create a join betweeen them. You can create joins via API by associating the columns of the 2 datasets to link. Make sure the direction of the link between the datasets is many-to-one. Joins with multiple criteria can be set by just associating more than one set of columns.

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.

Country

Countries simply have a name and an id where the id is the two-letter country code (ISO) in capitals. By default, all countries are listed in the Cumul.io platform. The only use for countries is to provide information on where your users are located to the platform which can be done by associating a country to the user or to the organization. Since countries are managed by Cumul.io, you can not create, delete or update them.

User Owner

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.

Dashboard

Dashboards can also be created, retrieved and updated programmatically or can be associated programmatically. The dashboard definition itself is configured via a json object in the contents property. This json object defines per view modus which visualization elements that are contained within the dashboard and what position and data connections each of them have. It is important to notice that the structure of this json evolves as we add new visualization types or adapt existing ones. That is why the json starts by declaring the version of the dashboard config. This makes sure that we are backward compatible with dashboard configurations that are created according to an older structure. Although it is possible, typically users do not create a dashboard from scratch. If you want to learn more about this structure, we advice to make a dashboard via the UI and retrieve it via the API to see what it looks like. A common use case is to create dashboards via the editor and add a logo or change colors programmatically.

Create

can be executed by:

Logged-in User

Any user with an API token can create a dashboard. The user that creates the dashboard will be automatically associated as the owner.

Note that a dashboard requires a minimum structure. The code example provides the default structure (we left out the 'largeScreen' view since it has an identical structure).

   Delete a dashboard

client.delete("securable", "<your_securable_id>")

Delete

can be executed by:

Securable Owner

Delete a dashboard by providing the id of the dashboard.

Associations

Note that associations listed in the schema are the same for dataset and dashboard. Some associations only make sense for one of the two (e.g. Thumbnail does nothing for a Dataset) or have different significations.

Associate: Group

   Link a user to a group and set him as member of that group

client.associate("group", "<your group id>", "Users", "< your user id>", 
  ImmutableMap.of(
    "flagMember" , true,
    "flagOwn" , false
  ) );

   Link a user to a group and set him as member of that group

dynamic properties = new ExpandoObject();
properties.flagMember = true;
properties.flagOwn = false;

client.associate("group", "<your group id>", "Users", "< your user id>",     properties );

   Link a user to a group and set him as member of that group

let promise = client.associate('group', '<your group id>', {
    role: 'Users',
    id: '< your user id>'
},
{
    flagMember: true,
    flagOwn: false
});

   Link a user to a group and set him as member of that group

<?php
$client->associate('group', '<your group id>', 'Users', '< your user id>', , 
  array (
    'flagMember' => true,
    'flagOwn' => false
  ) );
?>

   Link a user to a group and set him as member of that group

curl https://api.cumul.io/0.1.0/group  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @- << EOF
{
  "action": "associate",
  "key": "$CUMULIO_API_KEY",

   Link a user to a group and set him as member of that group

client.associate("group", "<your_group_id>", {"role":"Users","id":"< your user id>"}, {
    "flagMember": True,
    "flagOwn": False
} )

   Link a group to a securable, and give read/use/write access to that group

client.associate("group", "<your group id>", "Securables", "< your securable (dashboard or dataset) id>", 
  ImmutableMap.of(
    "flagRead" , true,
    "flagModify" , true,
    "flagUse" , true,
