Make API requests with the QuickSight SDKs

Make API requests with the QuickSight SDKs - Amazon QuickSight

You can use API operations for Amazon QuickSight and AWS SDKs to access Amazon QuickSight from your preferred programming language. Currently, you can use the Amazon QuickSight API to manage users and groups. In Enterprise Edition, you can also use the API to embed dashboards in your webpage or app.

To monitor the calls made to the Amazon QuickSight API for your account, including calls made by the AWS Management Console, command line tools, and other services, use AWS CloudTrail. For more information, see the AWS CloudTrail User Guide.

AWS provides libraries, sample code, tutorials, and other resources for software developers who prefer to build applications using language-specific API operations instead of submitting a request over HTTPS. These libraries provide basic functions that automatically take care of tasks such as cryptographically signing your requests, retrying requests, and handling error responses. These libraries help make it easier for you to get started.

For more information about downloading the AWS SDKs, see AWS SDKs and Tools. The following links are a sample of the language-specific API documentation available.
