Appsmith is an open-source framework for building internal tools. Here’s a short video guide on how to connect Appsmith to Cube.

​
Connect from Cube Cloud

Navigate to the Integrations page, click Connect to Cube, and choose Appsmith to get detailed instructions.

​
Connect from Cube Core

You can connect a Cube deployment to Appsmith using the REST API. For a Cube instance publicly available at a specific HOST, the REST API URL would be HOST/cubejs-api/v1. Please refer to the REST API page for details. You will also need to generate a JSON Web Token that would be used to authenticate requests to Cube. Please check the Security page to learn how to generate a token. We suggest generating a long-lived JWT that won’t expire soon.

Connecting from Appsmith

​
Create a new data source

Copy and paste the REST API URL and the Authorization token to create a new data source in Appsmith.

​
Create a POST request

Get your Cube query in the JSON query format ready. You can copy it from Cube’s Playground or compose manually:
Create a POST request, paste the JSON query in the Body. Make sure to add a query parameter for your JSON query. Because you saved the data source as HOST/cubejs-api/v1, don’t forget to add a /load endpoint to the end of the data source API. Next, hit Run.

​
Display the data

You have many options to display the data in Appsmith. For instance, you can display the data in a table widget. Also, you can create a chart widget and map the values to x and y coordinates accordingly, give a title and names to the axis.
