Generate Dashboard

POST /api/dashboard/generate/

Responses

Async Response (large files / background processing)

When the file is large or requires background processing, you'll receive a generation_id to track the status:

response.json

{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "Generation triggered successfully. Dashboard will be created when processing completes.",
  "data": {
    "generation_id": "af52d214-...",
    "dataset_id": "1b0b7d3e-...",
    "status": "processing"
  }
}

Use the generation_id to check the status or set up webhooks for notifications.

Sync Response (small files / completed immediately)

For small files, the dashboard may be generated immediately:

response.json

{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "Dashboard generated successfully",
  "data": {
    "generation_id": "af52d214-...",
    "dashboard_id": "d6ad65c0-...",
    "status": "completed",
    "share_link": {
      "id": "4a5b...",
      "share_url": "https://api.example.com/share/4a5b.../view/",
      "...": "..."
    }
  }
}
