Please let me know if we can export quicksight dashboard into json format

Hello @Deepa.si, welcome to the Quick Sight community! Yes, this is possible, and there are 2 primary ways to accomplish this.

You can either use the asset-bundle-export-job function through the CLI to export your Quick Sight resources as JSON.

Another option is to use the DescribeDashboard, DescribeDashbaordDefinition, and DescribeDashboardPermissions through the CLI or boto3 (I use this in python), to query the json for your Quick Sight dashboards.

The 2nd method is my preferred, but both can be utilized to accomplish this. I will mark this as a solution, let me know if you have any follow-up questions. Thank you!

Hello @Deepa.si, unfortunately, this is functionality that is strictly utilized through the Quick Sight APIs. There isn’t a simple plug and play option within the console to complete this task. Either utilizing the CLI or the Quick Sight SDK with boto3 are the ways that you will be able to convert the dashboard to JSON. The only export options available within the console are to export a sheet as a PDF or a table visual as an Excel or CSV file.

Since this functionality does not exist though, I will tag it as a feature request for the support team. At AWS, our roadmap is driven by our customers. Thank you for your feedback!
