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

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 >'
)
));
?>

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 >"
};
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 key 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!

Add filters
You can add filters to your authorization requests to filter your embedded dashboards.
There are a few types of filters, which we will describe in detail below.
Global filters
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, the column id, the expression to be used and the filter value of your choice.

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. |

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 parameters 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) The username of the end-user. |
|
name string |
(optional) The name of the end-user. |
|
email string |
(optional) The email address of the end-user. |
|

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 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({

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 |

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.

Example of uploading data and creating the dataset + columns on the fly by detecting types from the sample
dynamic properties = new ExpandoObject();
properties.type = "create";
properties.data = new List<Object> {
new List<Object> {
"Chicken baconito ",
"3",
"500",
"menu"
},
new List<Object> {
"Quesarito",

Console.WriteLine("Success!", 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

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
This code snippet creates a new column within a specified dataset, and immediately associates it with the specified 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.

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.

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’.

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 Cruise 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:
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 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:

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:
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
id
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
You can also use a duration string like
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
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
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. ip
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
Dataset id to filter.
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
Column id to filter.
global filter:Column id to filter.
chart_id
uuid
In case of
Chart id to initialize.

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 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.

object
Viewer metadata: parameter to add additional metadata. This must be a valid JSON object with a maximum length of 10 000 characters.
account_overrides
object
Let this token override the key, token and/or base_url of a Plugin Account. You can use this to dynamically route requests to different Plugin endpoints (eg. the correct endpoint per client in a single-tenant setup):
< account id >
object
Use the account id for which you want to override properties as property name.
key
string
The new key value that will be sent as X-Key header to the Plugin (instead of the default key of the Account).
token
string
The new token value that will be sent as X-Key header to the Plugin (instead of the default token of the Account).
base_url
string
The new base URL that will be called (instead of the default base_url of the Plugin).
last_used_at
datetime
(Read-only) Timestamp of the last API call of this authorization. Can be delayed up to 5 minutes.
Actions
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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Associations
Organizations their main connections are users and plugins. Besides of that you can also associate a default locale and a country to an organization and a thumbnail (logo of the organization) can be set.

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.
Associate: Plugin
Link an organization to a plugin to make that plugin available to the organization
client.associate("organization", "<your organization id>", "Plugins", "< your plugin id>");

and
By default, when you make a plugin via the API, the plugin is only associated to the user that created it. By associating the plugin to the organization you make it available to all users in the organization. Associating a plugin to an organization can be done by each organization member.
Associate: Country
Link an organization to a country

and
Associating an organization with a country simply gives us the information we need about your company. The association between country and organization serves as a default for the users of your organization which can be overridden by associating a country to a user directly.
Associate: Locale

and
By associating a locale with your organization you set that locale as the default for the users in your organization. When a user has an association to a locale as well it will overrule the one from the organization. When you view a dashboard, the locale of the organization and/or user is taken into account to set the language.
Associate: Thumbnail

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.
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.

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.

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.

Some associations only make sense for one of the two (e.g. Thumbnail does nothing for a Dashboard) or have different significations (e.g. Plugin to dashboard creates a template dashboard while a connection between a dataset and a plugin indicates that this dataset was added via this plugin).

The dataset/dashboard will be listed in the public datasets/dashboards on Cumul.io. This is a useful feature if you are providing open data for the public. To avoid mistakes, this feature is only enabled for clients that specifically ask for this.
and
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.

flagRead
Grant the right to view the dataset
flagUse
Right requires for example to duplicate the dataset
flagModify
Right to modify the dataset.
flagOwn
Right to delete the dataset, or to modify the access rights e.g. by associating the dataset with users (multiple users can be owner)
and
A user can be linked to a securable to give him access to that dataset. To start associating, note that a dataset 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 dashboards with users, you already need to be resource owner. That means that you either created the dashboard 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 dataset. In additon to setting ownership properties, you can supply filters when associating a dataset to a user. When a user opens or uses the dataset, these filters will be applied. The syntax is identical to creating an authorization with filters.
