Integrating SAP HANA Data into Elfsight Custom Widgets

Wishlist Elfsight Dashboard
1

Hi everyone,

I’ve been experimenting with connecting SAP HANA analytics data to Elfsight widgets for a real-time dashboard on our internal portal. The main idea is to show live business metrics from SAP without requiring users to log into the SAP system.

I’ve built a setup where SAP HANA exposes data through OData services, which I then try to feed into Elfsight’s custom widget using API calls. While I can pull static data successfully, I’m running into issues with token-based authentication and refresh timing when the data updates frequently on the SAP side.

Has anyone here worked on something similar, embedding live or semi-live data from enterprise tools into Elfsight widgets? I’m especially curious about how others handled secure data refreshes or API-based integrations for analytics dashboards.

Moreover, I’m currently studying for the SAP C_HAMOD_2404 certification, which focuses on HANA modeling and data provisioning, so I’ve been trying to apply those concepts in a practical setup. I’ve also been reviewing some Pass4Future practice tests to get a better grasp of real-world data scenarios before implementing them.

Would appreciate any insights or examples from your experience with dynamic widget integrations or best practices for secure data updates.

Thanks in advance

Hi there, @Britanney_Wiley and welcome to the Community :waving_hand:

Unfortunately, there is no way to connect our widgets to SAP Hana analytics in order to display the business analytics right in the widget. I am really sorry!

However, your use case is really interesting and I’ve moved this idea to the Wishlist. If more users support this idea, we’ll try to consider this opportunity in the future :slightly_smiling_face:
