Apache Superset

Verified Jul 2026

Apache Superset is an open-source data-exploration and business-intelligence platform for building interactive dashboards and running ad-hoc SQL over dozens of database engines. Its REST API, documented at superset.apache.org/docs/api (confirmed live, redirecting to a 200 Swagger reference), exposes charts, dashboards, datasets, and database connections under `/api/v1/`, authenticated with a JWT access token obtained by POSTing credentials to `/api/v1/security/login` rather than a long-lived static key. Superset is self-hosted with no single Apache-run public instance, so HTTPS and CORS are configured per deployment rather than fixed by a vendor.

Auth quickstart

  1. Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
  2. Send it on every request as a headerAuthorization: <key>
  3. The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Stored keyNo key stored

Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
