05/18/2023, 8:06 AMHey, guys, just wanted to check something on the Java API implementation. I’m trying to use this one https://www.javadoc.io/doc/com.gooddata/gooddata-java/latest/index.html) ver 3.11.1 + api3 and trying to get PNG of the graph for the report via ExportService. So far it’s working, but I can’t apply filters on it. Could you show me the right way?
Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 8:08 AM@Jan Soubusta may be you could help as it’s stated you “talks about API” on your profile description?
Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 8:30 AMOr anyone else from the API team, please @Robert Moucha @Jan Rehanek?

05/18/2023, 8:34 AMI suppose that the Java client you mentioned is only for the former GoodData platform, not for GoodData.CN/GoodData cloud.
Jan Soubusta
05/18/2023, 8:35 AMDo you use GoodData cloud / CN?

05/18/2023, 8:35 AMHi Alexey. The Java SDK is not currently in active development. See: https://github.com/gooddata/gooddata-java
Copy code
The project is currently NOT in "active development". Meaning that feature request may or may not be implemented. You are welcomed to contribute your code and create an issue.a
Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 8:37 AM@Jan Soubusta yeah, it’s not related to the GoodData cloud.
Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 8:38 AM@Jan Rehanek thanks, looking forward to the answer, it should be really easy for the person how knows it I guess

05/18/2023, 8:47 AMYou’re referring to this https://www.javadoc.io/doc/com.gooddata/gooddata-java/latest/com/gooddata/sdk/service/export/ExportService.html, right?

Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 8:47 AMYes
Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 8:48 AMBut in your API it’s here - https://help.gooddata.com/doc/enterprise/en/expand-your-gooddata-platform/api-reference/#operation/exportReport
Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 8:48 AMThis “context” -> “filters” fields
Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 8:49 AMSimply saying - there is a report on the dashboard with the filter for the last year only
Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 8:49 AMBut then I exporting it as PNG via api it shows me all data from the beginning
Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 8:50 AMQuestion is how to apply this filter or may be is there any other solution
Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 8:51 AMMay be I could create my own filter while doing export
Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 8:51 AMIt’s not clear from the SDK documentation unfortuntately

05/18/2023, 8:57 AMAll right. Thanks for the added detail. I’ll see what I can find.

05/18/2023, 9:32 AMHi Alexey,
you can use https://www.javadoc.io/doc/com.gooddata/gooddata-java/latest/com/gooddata/sdk/service/export/ExportService.html#export(com.goodd[…].io.OutputStream) and when passing the ReportDefinition, it contains the ReportDefinitionContent which contains the collection of filters to be applied: https://www.javadoc.io/doc/com.gooddata/gooddata-java/latest/com/gooddata/sdk/service/export/ExportService.html#export(com.goodd[…].io.OutputStream)

05/18/2023, 9:33 AMGreat, thanks for the support, will try that out!
Alexey Levashev
05/18/2023, 9:44 AMOne more short questions. Now I have project -> dashboard -> then tab in the dashboard where I can find filters
l
Libor Rysavy
05/18/2023, 9:44 AMYou can first try to prepare the report with the filter in the UI (Reports tab -> Filter) and check the Network communication - you would see there a request like https://DOMAIN.gooddata.com/gdc/md/WORKSPACE/obj?createAndGet=true with payload like
Copy code
{"reportDefinition":{"links":{"explain2":"/gdc/md/WORKSPACE/obj/2444/explain2"},"content":{"filters":[{"expression":"[/gdc/md/WORKSPACE/obj/2167] IN ([/gdc/md/WORKSPACE/obj/2167/elements?id=42767])"}],...Libor Rysavy
05/18/2023, 9:45 AMThis should help you construct those objects accordingly 😉

05/18/2023, 9:51 AMOr maybe the easier way for you would be to save the report with the filter as the new report (report definition) and then just use the URI to this one for exporting.
It's up to you, what makes more sense in your use case.
