Import a dashboard into a workspace using JSON data from the Export Dashboard API or from a file exported via the Databrain UI. The dashboard layout, metrics, and filters are recreated in the target workspace.
Authentication Requirement: This endpoint requires a service token (company-level), not a data app API key. The workspace must belong to your company.

​
Authentication

Use your service token in the Authorization header. See Create Service Token for how to obtain a service token.

​
Headers

Authorization
string
required
Bearer token for API authentication. Use your service token (company-level).
Authorization: Bearer dbn_live_...
​
Content-Type
string
required
Must be application/json.
Content-Type: application/json

​
Request Body

Validated with importDashboardSchema: workspaceName (string, required) and importDashboardData (object, required) are required. dashboardId, dashboardName, and schemaPairs are optional. Each schemaPairs item must include replaceSchema and targetSchema (strings).
​
workspaceName
string
required
The name of the workspace where the dashboard should be imported. Must match an existing workspace name in your company.
​
importDashboardData
object
required
The dashboard payload to import. Must be a non-null object. Use the data property from an Export Dashboard response, or the equivalent structure from a UI-exported JSON file. Contains layout, filters, metrics configuration, and related dashboard structure.
​
dashboardId
string
Optional stable identifier for the imported dashboard in the target workspace.
  • If provided, this value is used as the external dashboard ID.
  • If omitted, a new unique ID is generated automatically.
  • If a dashboard with the same ID already exists in the target workspace, the import returns an error message and no new dashboard is created.
​
dashboardName
string
Optional display name to assign to the imported dashboard in the target workspace.If omitted, the name from the exported payload is used.
​
schemaPairs
array
Optional. Maps schema names in the exported SQL/dashboard payload to schema names in the target workspace (for example when moving from staging to production).Each array element is an object with:
  • replaceSchema — string (required in each item)
  • targetSchema — string (required in each item)
"schemaPairs": [
  { "replaceSchema": "databrain_dev1", "targetSchema": "databrain_dev2" }
]

​
Response

​
data
object
Result of the import operation.On success, data.response contains:
  • message – human-readable summary of the import (including the number of imported metrics)
  • dashboardId – external dashboard ID in the target workspace
  • dashboardName – name of the imported dashboard in the target workspace
  • workspaceName – name of the workspace where the dashboard was imported
On error, the API returns a JSON object with error.code and error.message and HTTP status 400 or 500.
