Dashboards¶

We can get a full list of all published dashboards related to an Open Data portal, including also each individual resource published inside a particular dashboard using a GET method. You’ll need to include in each request your auth key from the portal’s developer page.

GET   /api/v2/dashboards.json
GET   /api/v2/dashboards/{guid}.json

From which we get the data with the following parameters :

guid: Unique identifier of the dashboard,
title: Resource title
description: Resource description
category_name: Name of the category
endpoint: Null by default. Used to mantain regular structure with other data resources.
tags : Array of tags separated by comma. Optional.
user : Username of resource publisher.
parameters : Null by default. Used to mantain regular structure with other data resources.
created_at : Timestamp of resource revision creation.
link : Link to the resource in the Open Data portal

Example GET https://api.data.arlingtonva.us/api/v2/dashboards.json?auth_key=MY_AUTH_KEY returns:
