How to get chart info? (ex: x/y-axis label/title...)

Hi Yellowfin team,


I see that the chart in yellowfin report is a image, and I need to get chart info. So do you have a Web Service for get chart info? ( ex: x/y-axis label/title ...). If not, do you have another way to get it?


Thanks and Regards

Hello,

You should be able to get this info from the web service, however you may have to do some processing to get the output that you want.

the information you are looking for should be contained within "HTML"

This should grab all HTML related to displaying the chart - you will then need to strip or match the returned info to get what you need

The link below covers our webservices calls.

I hope this helps!

Hi Peter, 


This is my code using for generate JSON

val rsr = new ReportServiceRequest

    rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au")
    rsr.setPassword("test")
    rsr.setOrgId(1)
    rsr.setReportRequest("HTML")
    rsr.setReportId(52351)
    Try {
      val rs = rssbs1.remoteReportCall(rsr)
      rs.getStatusCode match {
        case SUCCESS =>
          rs
        case _ =>
          throw new Exception(WebserviceException.getErrorString(rs.getErrorCode))
      }
    }

Hello Loc,


Unfortunately the titles and labels on charts aren't available via webservice.


As the chart is a rendered image, only the meta-data that you have seen in the XML is available to be processed further.


Very sorry for the inconvenience and I shall push this as an enhancement request for webservices in a future release.


Best regards,

Pete
