LookML dashboard view count

Looker Q&A Looker
1

Hello,
I’m quite new to Looker and I wanted some help regarding the looker APIs

Basically, I want to extract the view_count for lookML dashboards via the API. I’ve tried using the dashboard apis to get those, but since LookML dashboards do not have the dashboard id, I’m unable to get this result.

Another approach I can think of is using the Run Inline Query API, but I can’t find any reliable documentation on how to build or write queries

Any help could be useful.

You can also run an existing Looker query from the API, so you could simply create (in an explore) a query that gets you the information you are looking for, then find that query and its associated ID in the History explore in System Activity, and call that query via the API.
