# Widget

## Definition

A public widget plugin is similar to a native Ubidots widget, but it is tailored to specific needs. Examples include generating EDA (exploratory data analysis) reports and plotting specialized charts such as Pareto charts.

## How to use Widget plugins

Before you use a widget plugin in a dashboard, install it first. To do so, go to Ubidots → Dev Center → Plugins and create the required plugin. For example, if you want to use the **Pareto Bars** widget, you must first install that plugin.

Once the plugin is created, go to a Ubidots dashboard and use the widget:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dev.ubidots.com/plugins/public-plugins/widget.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
