The LookerEmbed SDK repository includes sample code and a demo of the Embed SDK. Because of Looker's security requirements, the demo requires a bit of setup. The demo also requires your Lookerembed secret. The embed secret grants access to all of your data, so note the following:

• Don't share your secret with anyone whom you don't want to have complete access to your instance.
• Don't reset your secret if you already are using it in another context.
• Don't set up your code to store the secret in the web browser.

Step 1: Enable embedding in your Looker instance

This is documented in more detail on theSigned embedding documentation page.

1. Navigate toAdmin > Platform Embed on your Looker instance. This requires Admin privileges.
2. The demo server runs by default athttp://localhost:8080. By adding that address to theEmbedded Domain Allowlist, you can enable the demo to receive messages from Looker.
3. Turn onEmbed Authentication.
4. In order to view your embed secret you must reset it. Copy the secret to a secure place.

Step 2: Customize the demo settings for your Looker instance

Provide your embed secret to the server. You can do this in the following ways:

• Set it asLOOKER_EMBED_SECRET in your shell environment.
• Create a file named.env in the root of the sdk directory. Add a line to that file:LOOKER_EMBED_SECRET="YourLookerSecret"

Provide your Looker instance host address to the server by using one of the following methods:

• Set it asLOOKER_WEB_URL in your shell environment.
• AddLOOKER_WEB_URL="yourinstance.looker.com:yourport" to the.env file.

The server will print out what host and port it is running on. If it is different thanhttp://localhost:8080 then you will need to add it to yourEmbedded Domain Allowlist.

Python server

1. Runnpm install
2. Runnpm run python

The server will print out what host and port it is running on.

You may need topip install six to install the Python 2/3 compatibility layer.
