Accessing graphs directly with apikey

[pb66]

It would be very useful to be able to access any saved graph via a url and apikey eg

http://server.com/emoncms/graph/somegraph?apikey=abc123

This would make frequently visited graphs bookmarkable and save logging in.

I'm aware that graphs can be embedded in dashboards, but 1) the dashboards do not populate when a dash is viewed by apikey (see #8) and 2) only the graph is displayed, not the stats and/or the ability to download csv etc.

Also with having a graph specific url, it adds the ability to refresh the page to reset to original settings after exploring, adding and removing feeds and changing setttings, you can just refresh the page without going back to a blank empty graph.

A couple minor thoughts, If using an apikey top directly access a preset graph, the feed selection panel is less of a primary function so the page should open with the LH panel collapsed by default.

Perhaps the graph name selector and definitely the save button should not be made available when the graph page is accessed with the readonly key.

Good idea, the first part of this is now implemented
http://localhost/emoncms/graph?load=test&apikey=APIKEY

It would be good to automatically change the url when a saved graph is selected so that general users can use find this shortcut.

The left hand menu still needs hiding.

Very much appreciated. Thank you.

It would be good to automatically change the url when a saved graph is selected so that general users can use find this shortcut.

As a stop gap you could include the url of saved graphs at the foot of the lefthand panel like the multigraph embeded url textbox's and also make it a clickable link (or nav to button?) as well as a copy button? Both of these features would be desirable even if the page refreshes to the saved graphs url so the work would not be wasted (eg a temp fix).

I think this commit may also fix #8, I will test and update that issue if so.

Please see #41 as I think a link to the saved graphs page from an embedded graph would offer stats and indepth research of data direct from the dashboards, perhaps opening in a modal view without the lefthand menu (no menu in modal view only)

This doesn't appear to work, I don't recall how thoroughly I tried it a month ago, but I do not seem to be able to get it working with

http://localhost/emoncms/graph?load=test&apikey=APIKEY

or

http://server.com/emoncms/graph/somegraph?apikey=abc123

am I doing something wrong or has it broken since?

The following all work for me

http://192.168.0.102/graph?apikey=APIKEY#/Saved/1
http://192.168.0.102/graph/16?apikey=APIKEY
http://192.168.0.102/graph?feedidsLH=16&apikey=APIKEY
http://192.168.0.102/graph?feedidsRH=16&apikey=APIKEY

It looks like graph?load=test is not working (perhaps replaced by more recent version of #saved/1 @emrysr ?)
