Can you describe sheets and or visuals using the AWS Quicksight API?


After writing some code to extract information about Dashboards, Analyses, Datasets and Datasources from AWS Quicksight using the QuickSight API (Allowing for full text search on objects and queries in use, and allowing for change-detection), I noticed that I would like to have information on sheet contents and visuals as well.

However, it seems the cli does not allow retreiving those details.

Is this correct? Am I missing something?

I also would love to be able to create visuals using the API, is this possible?

    AWS even has some demos on how to use the output of these queries to create new dashboards from
