Get A List Of ALL Dashboards With Specific Fields Only

[intapiuser]

Question: I am trying to build a data set to import into an ElastiCube to see which dashboards a user has access to, among other things. This is about building a DASHBOARDS table.  

My GETs all come back with all fields.  All I want is: dashboardId, title, shares, owner

api/v1/dashboards?fields=dashboardId,title,owner,shares

returns just the fields I need but only for the one user

api/v1/dashboards/admin?dashboardType=owner&ownerInfo=true&ownershipType=allRoot

returns all the dashboards; but way too much information. 

How can I limit this to just the fields I need?

Answer: you can use the "fields" argument with the admin endpoint as well:

/api/v1/dashboards/admin?dashboardType=owner&ownerInfo=true&ownershipType=allRoot&fields=dashboardId,title,owner,shares

I get the response structure:

{
   "title": "Sample ECommerce",
   "oid": "5edeac92312bbe002b67a5d1",
   "shares": [
       {
           "shareId": "5ed8f9a3800b79ad85d448cc",
           "type": "user"
       }
   ],
   "owner": "5ed8f9a3800b79ad85d448cc",
   "ownerInfo": {
       "email": "[email protected]",
       "firstName": "moti.gra"
   },
   "ownershipType": "owner"
}
