Hi, in Kibana, users are able to get the embedded iframe code in their dashboards. I was wondering if there's an API that allows me to dynamically get the iframe codes without having to open kibana and manually copy the codes every time?

There's not an API or programatic way, no. However, the format in the URL is predictable, and the global state (data in the `_g` query param) and app state (the `_a` param) can be used to control what you see in the iframe.

For example, if I add `extension:jpg` in the query bar, I'll see it reflected in the app state parm as `query:(language:lucene,query:'extension:jpg')`. This is JSON data that is rison encoded. You can read more about how that works in [the library's readme](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rison-node).
