By embedding ThoughtSpot Analytics in your app, you can enrich your application experience with ThoughtSpot’s search and live analytics capabilities. ThoughtSpot provides a low-code embedded analytics platform with Visual Embed SDK and a robust API framework to embed, customize, and automate your deployment process.
To embed ThoughtSpot in your app using the Visual Embed SDK and REST APIs, you must purchase the Embed Add-on or ThoughtSpot Embedded Edition license.
