API Data on Dashboard
Working in a constellation , Have a requirement of displaying data of an open source API in a dashboard on the portal.
for e.g - this is an open api https://disease.sh/v3/covid-19/historical/all?lastdays=all
it has data of total cases on particular date , total deaths on particular date and total recovered cases on particular date
so i want to show that data on the portal in the form of chart or graph , how to do that , can anyone guide here.
also this should be in constellation

Charts or graphs can be added via insights.
For insights we support only the data pages sourced by Report definitions. The data pages sourced for non RDs will appear in the dropdown for insights , but we don't recommend it for production use.
One way to achieve this outcome is to create a mapping data object, for which records are populated from the API. The frequency of updates can depend on your refresh strategy. You can then create a chart insight on this data object.
