Vega-lite: Load data from an absolute URL

[Subhodip Sengupta]

​Apologies to begin with, because this may turn out to be a basic question that I haven’t figured out as yet and was searching for a quick resolution to.

I want to load data from an external data source (S3 / source dataset URL) and since Vega runtime resolves the specified data URL as relative and prefixes it with https://vega.github.io/editor/, it’s generating an erroneous path.

Is there a workaround to this? One would be to use inline data which isn’t preferable in my case. Since loading data from URL is an option, I was hoping that absolute paths would work. In the interest of time, if someone could highlight a quick fix or a way to override this functionality, it would really be helpful.

Thanks & regards,

Subho

Hi Subho,

The editor does support absolute data URLs but you need to make sure that the server supports CORS. We could definitely improve the error handling. 

Best wishes,

Dominik
