Rison-Encoded URL Filters (Newest approach)** As of a recent merge, Superset supports passing filters directly in the URL using Rison encoding [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/39795): ``` https://your-superset/superset/dashboard/<id>/?f=(job_id:12345,date:2024-01-15) ``` This matches filters by **column name** (case-insensitive, whitespace-tolerant) and auto-applies them. Unmatched filters are displayed as removable chips. This is likely the simplest option for your use case since you just need to construct the URL in Retool. **2. Dashboard Permalink API (Best for persistent/shareable links)** You can programmatically create a permalink that encodes the full filter state: - **POST** `/api/v1/dashboard/<dashboard_id>/permalink` with a body containing `dataMask` (the native filter state), `activeTabs`, and `urlParams` [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/dashboards/permalink/api.py#L40-L45) [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/dashboards/permalink/types.py#L20-L24) - The response gives you a key, and the dashboard URL becomes: `https://your-superset/superset/dashboard/p/<key>/` The `dataMask` structure maps filter IDs to their `filterState` and `extraFormData` values. The challenge here is that you need to know the native filter IDs (which are UUIDs internal to the dashboard JSON). **3. Filter State API (Temporary/session-based)** There's also a temporary filter state API at `api/v1/dashboard/{dashboard_id}/filter_state` that lets you POST filter values and get a key back — this is what `native_filters_key` references [[4]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/dashboards/filter_state/api.py#L32-L47). However, this state is cached temporarily rather than permanently stored. *** **For your Retool integration**, the Rison-encoded URL approach (#1) is probably the easiest — you just build the URL string with your job ID and date as parameters. If you need more durable links or complex filter states, the Permalink API (#2) would work but requires an API call to Superset first. Note that the Rison URL filter feature is quite new, so make sure your Superset version includes it. If you're on an older version, the Permalink API is your best bet. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
