Drill to API Beta

Drill to API chart allows you to issue an API request as your drill down action. As an example you might want to call out to an external service and have a document returned and shown to the user. In the beta release the functionality is limited to the following:

• POST requests

• JSON content type

• No header configuration

• Response opens in new tab

Additional configurabilty will be included in an upcoming release. The URL and body fields support variable and object replacement so you could include an API key for example or filters in use.

One way you can use this feature is to drill to a report pdf and customise the data using report filters.
