Allow DOMO dashboard or individual cards to be exported as standalone files

An api that allows export entire dashboards or cards as standalone files (such as PDFs or images) without embedding them into the UI.
In certain use cases, we need to allow users to download various reports directly, without displaying them in the interface. An API that facilitates the export of dashboards or cards would be highly beneficial for these scenarios.

    I started playing with this last night while watching the ParaOlympics. Here is a straw-man that you can paste into CodeEngine and see the basic structure of getting all the cards on a page and getting the content a PDF’s.

    Each card will have a 'metadata' property, within that there will be a 'chartType'

    Examples:

    "chartType":"badge_world_map"

    "chartType":"badge_table"

    "chartType":"badge_horiz_bar"

    The getPDF() Endpoint will return paginated PNG or PDF images of tables (and cards). 

    The output is base64 encoded.

    You don’t use the numTablePages field for regular cards.

    We recommend a 2x scale for cleaner output

    Nice! What are the chances of exposing this an api endpoint?
