是否可以使用python从已发布的Tableau工作簿/服务器中提取数据

Question

As in title, any way to read data to a Pandas DataFrame?

Can't find much info about it anywhere. Found something about Tableau Data Extract and their SDK, but the first one doesn't seem to apply and can't find documentation for the latter.

Anyone can point me into the right direction?

Thanks

Answer 1

There are two options I am aware of:

1. Tabcmd

Download the data as csv then load it in to a pandas data frame.You can use the subprocess module to run tabcmd from python.

Eg: tabcmd export "Sales_Workbook" --csv -f "output.csv" -s http://tabserver.mycompany.com -u admin -p mypassword -t your_sitename

2. Tableau REST API

Eg: GET /api/api-version/sites/site-id/views/view-id/data?vf_<fieldname>=filter-value
