I am looking to get me a report on dashboards listed in the content directory. At the moment the monday API only supports getting data from boards and views, but not for dashboards.
Hey @lenekl I think you’re right — as of now, the Monday.com API does not support direct access to dashboards or dashboard widgets, which limits the ability to generate reports or programmatically retrieve dashboards listed in the content directory.
Looking for ideas here is how you can approach the problem, given the current API limitations:
Workaround Options
1. Manual Inventory + Documentation
- Create a centralized board to manually document all dashboards, their purposes, associated boards, and owners.
- This board can act as a content directory index.
- Use automation to keep it updated (e.g., notify owners to update info monthly).
Or could you create a link and embed the link externally??
2. Leverage Views on Boards
- Since dashboards often visualize board data, you can pull board data (items, views, columns) using the API and reconstruct some of the dashboard insights externally (e.g., in Power BI or Google Data Studio).
Feature Request
You’re not alone — many users have requested dashboard API support. You can:
- Submit a feature request via monday.com’s community
- Contact your CSM or Monday.com support for roadmap visibility.
