Overview

Redash is an open-source data visualization and dashboarding tool that exposes a REST API for managing queries, data sources, and dashboards programmatically. You can use it to trigger query refreshes, fetch cached results, or embed dashboard data into your own applications. It is particularly useful for teams running self-hosted Redash instances who want to automate reporting workflows.

💡

Beginner Tip

You will need to generate an API key from your Redash profile settings (Settings > API Key). All requests must include this key as a query parameter or Authorization header — start by calling GET /api/queries to list your existing queries.
