Create an embed for a workbook

View as MarkdownOpen in Claude
This endpoint lets you create an embed for a specific workbook. You can embed an entire workbook, a specific page, or an individual element within a workbook. Embedding enables seamless integration of Sigma content into other applications, websites, or internal platforms, providing a flexible and dynamic way to present and interact with data. ### Embedding options - Publicly embed Sigma in a public website by creating an embed of type `public`. - Securely embed Sigma in an authenticated host application. - (Recommended) Use JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to sign the workbook URL outputted by the [/v2/workbooks](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-workbooks) endpoint instead of the output of this endpoint. See [Create a secure embed](/docs/create-a-secure-embed). - (Deprecated) Use this endpoint to create an embed of type `secure`. This option is deprecated. See [Migrate to JWT-signed secure embed URLs](/docs/migrate-to-jwt-signed-secure-embed-urls). ### Usage notes - The endpoint requires the workbookId as a path parameter. Retrieve the **workbookId** by calling the [/v2/workbooks](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-workbooks) endpoint. - The body of the request must specify the type of embed (public). - You must specify the source type (workbook, page, element) and ID for that source to create the embed. - Retrieve the **pageId** by calling the [/v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/pages](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-workbook-pages) endpoint. - Retrieve the **elementId** by first calling the [/v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/pages](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-workbook-pages) endpoint, then calling the [/v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/pages/{pageId}/elements](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/list-workbook-page-elements) endpoint. ### Usage scenarios - **Web application integration:** Developers can use this API to generate the embed URL for integration into their application or for display on a public-facing webpage. ### Best practices - Validate the `workbookId` and `sourceId` to ensure they refer to existing resources before attempting to create an embed. - Consider the security settings of the embed type to match the integration context, ensuring that data exposure is controlled and appropriate for the audience.
