Dynamically get the Embeded dashboard UUID's for a Logged in User..

[chandug1991]

Bug description

Summary

There is no documented or discoverable REST endpoint that returns the
embedded-dashboard UUIDs for dashboards that have “Allow Embedding”
enabled.
The standard list endpoint (/api/v1/dashboard/) returns dashboard metadata
but omits the UUID required for guest-token generation.

Superset version/environment

• Superset 4.1.2 (Docker image apache/superset:4.1.2)
• Feature flags in config.py

  FEATURE_FLAGS = {
      "EMBEDDED_SUPERSET": True,
      "GUEST_TOKEN": True,
  }

Steps to reproduce

Enable Allow Embedding on one or more dashboards (UI or PUT request).

Call
bash
Copy
Edit
GET /api/v1/dashboard/?q=(columns:(id,dashboard_title)) or GET /api/v1/dashboard/
Inspect each dashboard object in the JSON response.

Expected result
Each dashboard that is embeddable exposes either
It's an embedded UUID or a link/reference to fetch it.

Actual result
The UUID (or any indication that the dashboard is embeddable) is missing.

Impact
Guest-token flows in client apps (e.g. React with
@superset-ui/embedded-sdk) cannot discover which dashboards can be embedded.
The only workaround is hard-coding UUIDs or querying the metadata DB directly.

Additional context / attempted work-arounds
Tried GET /api/v1/dashboard/ – still no UUID.

Verified that embedded_dashboard rows exist in the metadata DB and contain
the UUID + dashboard_id link.

The deprecated /superset/embedded_dashboard/ endpoint is legacy and
does not list dashboards.

Checklist

• I have searched Superset docs and Slack and didn't find a solution to my problem.
• I have searched the GitHub issue tracker and didn't find a similar bug report.
• I have checked Superset's logs for errors and if I found a relevant Python stacktrace, I included it here as text in the "additional context" section.

You can retrieve the embedded dashboard UUID for a dashboard with "Allow Embedding" enabled by calling the endpoint /api/v1/dashboard/<id_or_slug>/embedded. This endpoint returns the UUID if embedding is enabled for that dashboard; otherwise, it returns a 404. You'll need to call this endpoint for each dashboard you want to check—there isn't a bulk endpoint for all embeddable dashboards.

Example request:

GET /api/v1/dashboard/<dashboard_id_or_slug>/embedded
Authorization: Bearer <your-access-token>

The response will include the UUID in the result.uuid field if embedding is enabled.

If you have direct access to the metadata database, you can also query the embedded_dashboards table, where the UUID is stored in binary format. To convert it to a string in Python:

import uuid
def convert_binary_uuid_to_string(binary_uuid):
    return str(uuid.UUID(bytes=binary_uuid))

For more details, see this discussion and the API implementation.
