ℹ️Token

To obtain a guest token from DataBrain, utilize our REST API from your backend system. Each request will generate a unique guest token, ensuring security and flexibility.

Once you acquire the guest token, you can seamlessly pass it to your frontend application, where it can be integrated with the web component.

Create API key from Databrain's dashboard that should be passed in the headers in these requests.

Quick start (simple use case):

When you need a guest token that you want to use across dashboards and metrics. All you have to do is pass clientId, workspaceName. If expiryTime is not passed, the token will not expire.

Cloud Databrain:

POST https://api.usedatabrain.com/api/v1/guest-token/create

Self-hosted Databrain:

POST <SELF_HOSTED_URL>/api/v1/guest-token/create
