GenerateEmbedUrlForAnonymousUser

Generates an embed URL that you can use to embed an Amazon QuickSight dashboard or visual in your website, without having to register any reader users. Before you use this action, make sure that you have configured the dashboards and permissions.

The following rules apply to the generated URL:

It contains a temporary bearer token. It is valid for 5 minutes after it is generated. Once redeemed within this period, it cannot be re-used again.
The URL validity period should not be confused with the actual session lifetime that can be customized using the SessionLifetimeInMinutes parameter. The resulting user session is valid for 15 minutes (minimum) to 10 hours (maximum). The default session duration is 10 hours.
You are charged only when the URL is used or there is interaction with Amazon QuickSight.

For more information, see Embedded Analytics in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide.

For more information about the high-level steps for embedding and for an interactive demo of the ways you can customize embedding, visit the Amazon QuickSight Developer Portal.

AuthorizedResourceArns

The Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) for the Amazon QuickSight resources that the user is authorized to access during the lifetime of the session.

If you choose Dashboard embedding experience, pass the list of dashboard ARNs in the account that you want the user to be able to view.

If you want to make changes to the theme of your embedded content, pass a list of theme ARNs that the anonymous users need access to.

Currently, you can pass up to 25 theme ARNs in each API call.

Type: Array of strings

Required: Yes

ExperienceConfiguration

The configuration of the experience that you are embedding.

Type: AnonymousUserEmbeddingExperienceConfiguration object

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 64.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]*$

Required: Yes

AllowedDomains

The domains that you want to add to the allow list for access to the generated URL that is then embedded.
