In other words, the Authorization Server API takes care of authorizing the communication between your embed application and the Bold BI Server.
For more details about the Authorization Server, please refer to the Authorize Server documentation.
Parameters in the EmbedWrapper File
The Authorization Server API is called from the EmbedWrapper file with the following two parameters:
-
embedQueryString: This is a query string that contains the details of the embedding dashboard, such as the dashboard ID, nonce, timestamp, and expiration time.
-
dashboardServerApiUrl: This parameter contains the Bold BI Server API URL, which is used to communicate with the Bold BI Server for authorizing your embedding request and retrieving the dashboard information from Bold BI to your client.
