Iframe refresh

[erdemcer]

Description

I have a simple application which has iframe contains Superset dashboard. I would like to refresh dashboard from custom button in main page but everytime when refresh button is called full whole iframe is reloading. Is there any way to refresh dashboard in iframe without reloading whole iframe. I have asked this issue before and wonder is there any improvements.

Thanks

There isn't currently a way to refresh a Superset dashboard embedded in an iframe from the parent page without reloading the entire iframe. Existing discussions and issues focus on embedding, layout, and theming, but do not mention any mechanism (like postMessage or an embedding API) for partial or programmatic refresh from outside the iframe. The only related improvements are internal UI changes to reduce flickering during chart refresh, but these do not enable external control over dashboard refresh in an iframe context issue reference.

If you need more granular control, you would need to explore custom solutions outside of the standard iframe embedding, such as building your own dashboard UI that fetches data from Superset via its REST API and renders charts directly.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

I am afraid there are no improvements since then, but you are still welcome to open a pr for this.

I'll move this to an Ideas discussion. We're very much open to a PR here, adding a "refresh" method to the Embedded SDK.

There isn't currently a way to refresh a Superset dashboard inside an iframe from the parent page without reloading the entire iframe. Superset does not provide a built-in JavaScript API or postMessage interface for partial dashboard refresh from outside the iframe. All available discussions and issues focus on internal dashboard or chart refresh mechanisms, not on enabling partial refresh via embedding or external controls. No recent improvements have been documented that change this behavior—restoring the original dashboard state or refreshing data still requires a full reload, which in the context of an iframe means reloading the iframe itself discussion issue.
