Linking to the Imago Light Table via Formed URLs

If an application does not have a native Imago integration, you can achieve the same objective by constructing your own URL link to the Imago imagery you are interested in.

With this method, links are constructed using interval data as the starting point, which can result in links pointing to images that do not exist. There is another method for linking to Imago imagery by generating a list of existing images so that when someone uses a link, the likelihood of getting an error message is low. If you wish to use this method instead, see Generating a List of Portal Links.

If you have an interval table with hole IDs and depth information, you can construct links to Imago imagery using the address https://imago.seequent.com/api/display? and adding query parameters. In this example, we will use two parameters:

  • de for a collection name/hole ID
  • dp for the interval depth

de is the only mandatory query parameter. More query parameters are available, including the workspace and dataset names, but for this example, we will use only the collection name and the depth parameters.

See the Imago API documentation for more information on other query parameters.

Each of these query parameters are added to the URL as a key-value pair. The key and value are separated by “=”, where the key is the parameter and the value is what we want to use to filter the query. Each pair is separated by “&”.

For example, https://imago.seequent.com/api/display?de=DHUG0319&dp=86.4 where:

  • de=DHUG0319 is a query parameter that will select only collections called “DHUG0319”
  • dp=86.4 is a query parameter that will reference the image at the 86.4 depth on the filtered collection

In a spreadsheet, you can use cell names in a function (A) to insert different values for each row (B). For example, here the CONCAT function has been used to build portal URLs:

Displaying any imagery in the Imago Portal from a URL requires that you are already signed in to Imago. If when you open a link you are not already signed in, you will be prompted to do so.
