Manage Collections via API

What you can now do via API:

  • Create, update, or move collections

  • Set or change:

    • name

    • parent_id (to nest sub-collections)

    • access type: private, protected, or public

    • password (for protected collections)

    • display_settings (controls visibility of metrics/columns for public views)

Authorization

All requests require a valid Authorization header.

Use Cases:

  • Automate collection creation when onboarding clients

  • Programmatically update sharing settings

  • Organize collections at scale without using the UI

Enable API access via the settings page.
