title: Google Data Studio Looker Studio Linking Embedding API
description: The Looker Studio Linking API provides a reliable interface to configure and forward users directly to a pre-configured Looker Studio report via URL parameters, enabling one-click report creation experiences. It allows developers to create dynamic URLs that direct users to pre-configured reports, eliminating manual data source setup. The API supports configuring report templates, data sources, connectors, and report parameters through URL query parameters.
