Pivot API

The Pivot API is available only for Imply Private (i.e., self-hosted) or for Imply Cloud when using direct-access mode.

You can use the API to create, modify, and delete resources in Pivot.

To enable the API you need to add the following to the Pivot configuration file:

enableApiEndpoint: true

You can then go to the API page to create a token.

api toke

Once the token is created, you will need to supply it with an x-imply-api-token header when making requests to /api/v1/<resource-name>.

The resource-name can be one of:

users - The user object describing a user and their roles
user-auths - The user authorization containing a hashed password
roles - The roles that a user can belong to
connections - The connections describing clusters that can be connected to
data-cubes - The data cubes (and their access permissions)
dashboards - The dashboards (and their access permissions)
alerts - The alerts
reports - The scheduled reports

Adding ?pretty to the URL formats the return values as pretty printed JSON.
