Metabase Python static embedding sample

This sample code demonstrates using Metabase static embedding in Python using Flask.

Pre-requisites

Have a running instance of Metabase. If you don't have one
- download the free open source version or
- sign up for a free trial of Metabase Cloud.
A dashboard to embed. If you don't have one, use X-Rays to let Metabase create one for you. Note down the dashboard ID.

Preparing the embed

Sign in to your Metabase instance as an admin.
Go to admin settings, embedding and enable static embedding.
Under admin settings/embedding, click on manage on the static embedding card and copy the embedding secret key.

Configure the app

Paste the secret key into an env var:

export METABASE_EMBEDDING_SECRET="PASTE_SECRET_HERE"

Create an env var pointing to your Metabase site URL, if it's not on http://localhost:3000
```
export METABASE_SITE_URL="http://localhost:4000"
```
Create an env var with the ID of the dashboard to embed, if it's not 1:
```
export METABASE_EMBED_DASHBOARD_ID="8"
```

Embed the dashboard

Go to your dashboard, click on the share/embed button at the top
Click on the "Publish" button
