Explo | Customer-facing analytics for any platform

What is an IFrame?

The HTML Inline Frame element (<iframe>) represents a nested browsing context, embedding another HTML page into the current one. You can read more about IFrames here.

Where can I use the component?

Since the web component is an HTML element, you can use it in any context:

Directly in an HTML file
Define it in vanilla JS
Any JS web framework: React, Vue, Angular, etc

Constructing the IFrame Link

The IFrame is powered by an Explo URL that will need to be constructed.

Use an Embed Secret (Recommended)

https://app.explo.co/report-builder/iframe/<jwt>/<environment>

Use a Report Builder Id and Customer Token

https://app.explo.co/report-builder/iframe/<report_builder_id>/<customer_token>/<environment>

URL Attributes

Attribute Name	Type	Description
jwt (recommended)	string	This is the embed secret (JWT) for the report builder. We recommend you use this attribute instead of the `report_builder_id` and `customer_token`. Read more about embed secrets here.
report_builder_id	string	This is the embed id that you retrieve from the Explo application.
customer_token	string	The `customer_token` is the token you use to identify the customer that is viewing the report builder. This is retrieved via the Customer API.
environment	string	The environment name (such as production or staging) that you would like to embed. If no environment is provided, the most recent saved version will be rendered.
locale_code	string	An optional argument that overrides any localization settings for your team. This will localize your report builder’s numbers, currencies, and dates to the desired locale, if supported. Check out support languages here.
currency_code	string	An optional argument that overrides any currency localization settings for your team. This will localize your report builder’s currency symbols and format to the desired locale, if supported. Check out support currencies here.
timezone	string	An optional argument that allows you to specify a timezone to display dates in. Valid values can be found here.
theme	string	An optional argument that lets you manage multiple style/theme profiles within Explo. If not provided, uses the “default” theme.

Embedding the IFrame Link

Embed the IFrame below into your web application. The IFrame is backward-compatible with the previous Report Builder Customer Token syntax, but we recommend using the Embed Secret (JWT) syntax. Read more about embed secrets here.

<iframe
  src="https://app.explo.co/report-builder/iframe/<jwt>
  style="width: 100%;border: none;height: 100vh;"
>
</iframe>

<iframe
  src="https://app.explo.co/report-builder/iframe/<report_builder_id>/<customer_token>"
  style="width: 100%;border: none;height: 100vh;"
>
</iframe>
