Creating and requesting a visualization report

First, you need to get the URL for the visualization that you want to download as an image file or PDF.

To generate a visualization report, you need to specify the Dashboards URL.

Open the visualization for which you want to generate a report, and select Share > Permalinks > Generate link as Shapshot > Short URL > Copy link, as shown in the following image.

Copy link

You will need to add the URL with the -u argument when you request the report in the CLI.
