Getting Graph Sharing Token via REST API

It doesn’t appear to be documented, which means it won’t be supported, but you should be able to do it.

You have to do a POST to /setting/admins/sharingtokens?fields=token

The payload should consist of the widget id like this:

{"resourceType":"widget","resourceId":11124,"enable":true,"note":""}

Where 11124 is the widget id in this case. I think you should be able to post in a note as well. The UI doesn’t prompt for the note when you first create it, but it does allow you to edit it afterward and add the note. Main point: note should be doable, but is optional.

Wow!  It works!!    i really appreciate your help thank you very very very much Mr. @Stuart Weenig   :) 

1. I don’t know if that’s possible. You’d have to just try it. I’m not sure it is possible since the token is restricted to certain timeframes so you’d need a different token for each timeframe.
2. Probably not the way you want. You can share the dashboard, and you can do it on a schedule. But the share link would change each time. You might be able to get that out of the API, but I haven’t tried it and it’s probably an undocumented/unsupported endpoint. What you’d do in that case is create a service account in LM with permissions to that dashboard and the devices that populate it. You don’t have to give that service account access to any of the other pages (resources, mapping, websites, alerts, etc. but you could if you wanted). Use that service account to pull up the LM page somewhere else, or embed it in another page using iframe. Understand that you’d just need to log in with the service account. There are autorefresh options in the UI, but those won’t keep you logged in. Look for a browser extension based auto-refresh option to keep the service account logged in and refreshing the page every hour or so.

Wow, Let me try to do as your recommended.

Hi  @Stuart Weenig 

I have got “415Unsupported Media Type” as following detail 

I would like to thanks @Stuart Weenig  for helping me to create sharing token last time.      Again, I am looking for 2 things about widget as follwoing;

1)  Once sharing widget has been created with fix time_scale (like 7days, 30days), but Is it possible to get graph with the other time scale via browser like  “starttime=123456&stoptime=56789&auth=LMSTv1%3xxxxx”

2) If we want to share whole dashboard.    Is dashboard also able to create sharing_token like graph widget?   I could not see via LM UI

Thank you very much

Okay, I understood your comment for both 1) and 2).   I am very new in programing too ^^, but try to do as more as I can.      getting sharing token from API that you recommend last time is very good enough for my team.         Thank you very much @Stuart Weenig  for your advice and help :)

็Hi, @Stuart Weenig  Thanks for helping me to create sharing token last time.     I have found that  “common.timerange” is always be “7days” when created sharing-widget via API with differently timescale)    

 

I am not sure that Is it possible to set “common.timerange” of sharing-widget (like 3months, 30days) according to Default time range (Varies per widget)?

Thank you very much in advance for your support

It looks like sharing a widget only allows you to share the widget with the default timeframe configured in the widget. Probably the easiest would be to create a dashboard with the different timeframes you want and generate a sharing token for each one.

You might be able to generate the sharing token, reconfigure the widget to a different default timeframe, and then generate another sharing token. But i’m not sure that would work. Both tokens would probably end up pointing to the same timeframe since the timeframe is in the widget not in the token.
