Exporting a data source as a custom API

Make any data source in Horizon available as a custom API.

Note: Some parameters are not supported for more information, visit the Vista Developer Portal. 

Before you begin

• Make sure that you have been assigned access as a Designer or Administrator in Horizon.
• Make sure that you have:
  • Created a custom dashboard in Horizon
  • Exported the custom dashboard as a data source

Steps

Important! Data sources exported to custom APIs are removed from Horizon > Data sources. 

1. In Horizon, go to Operations > Data sources.
2. In the menu for your datasource, click Permissions.
3. In the dropdown menu, select Public.
4. Click Done.
5. In the menu for your datasource, click Change category. 
6. In the dropdown menu, select Exported Custom API.
7. Click Done.

You have added a new entry to Horizon > Custom APIs and your API is now available for developers in the custom API catog. This is the final step in creating a custom API.

Note: Custom APIs listed here are executable as data sources, but not editable.
