Periscope API
The Periscope API is a RESTful interface provided by Periscope Data (now part of Sisense) that allows developers to programmatically interact with the business intelligence and data analytics platform. It enables automation of tasks such as querying data, managing dashboards, and integrating analytics into custom applications. This API facilitates embedding analytics, automating report generation, and syncing data across systems.
Developers should learn the Periscope API when building custom integrations that require automated data retrieval, dashboard management, or embedding analytics into other software, such as internal tools or customer-facing applications. It is particularly useful in scenarios where real-time data updates, scheduled reporting, or seamless data workflows are needed, such as in e-commerce, finance, or operational dashboards.
