Hi (again), I want to host my Dash app on a AWS instance, so this is only responsible to display a dashboard from the data I give him and embed it inside another page. In a perfect world, I would need to do a POST request with a JSON body to http://my\_url.com/dash and it would return me a custom dashboard from the data inside the body. I would then embed this dashboard inside an iframe for example. But as I found out, this is [not how Dash is designed to work](https://community.plotly.com/t/update-plot-in-dash-from-rest-api/10612/6?u=zazoufumi) since this is Dash that should retrieve data not the other way around. But I cannot retrieve data from a database so what are the other solutions do I have ? As suggested [on my previous post](https://community.plotly.com/t/dash-inside-iframe-update-component/13947?u=zazoufumi), I was thinking about embedding the dash inside a iframe and then updating a hidden div with the original JSON body and this div would trigger a callback. But I’m unable to update dash from outside the iframe. Thanks for your help, ---

Hi, Did you manage to find a work around for this?
