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 endpoint instead of the output of this endpoint. See 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.

Usage notes

• The endpoint requires the workbookId as a path parameter. Retrieve the workbookId by calling the /v2/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 endpoint.
  • Retrieve the elementId by first calling the /v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/pages endpoint, then calling the /v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/pages/{pageId}/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.
