Release 2: Feeds and Integrations

Brightspot CMS Integration

Macrobond has partnered with one of the leading Content Management System firms to simplify the publishing workflow for users of both tools.

Through a simple configuration in Brightspot, your publishing teams can browse your Macrobond document library and import charts directly into Brightspot. This avoids the manual steps needed to send each other files over email, simplifying workflow, adhering to versioning and permissions to ultimately get your content out to consumers quickly.

Contact your account manager if you are an existing Brightspot and Macrobond user and would like to access your Macrobond content directly.

In Brightspot, simply search for your Macrobond assets in the search bar. Narrow down the search by using the filters on the left. Then click on the link to take you to the asset directly in your publishing process.

Chart Output API  

We have introduced a new endpoint in Chart Server API called CalculatePath. It returns both the data and the settings’ data powering your chart. This response will facilitate the integration of the documents you initially created in Macrobond into other systems, should you need to take the data somewhere else.

CalculatePath works in a similar fashion to RenderPath whereby the request expects to receive a path towards an .mbnd document and a presentation string (optional) in case you have multiple charts in your documents.

The API call will return a json file containing chart settings alongside observation dates and values for each component of your charts.

‍Note: This new endpoint is not bundled into the Chart Server API current version, as it requires further licensing.
