Document API

The Document API provides a supported way to programmatically make updates to Tableau workbook and data source files. If you've been making changes to these file types by directly updating the XML--that is, by XML hacking--this SDK is for you :)

Features include:

Support for 9.X, 10.X and 202x.x workbook and data source files
- Including TDSX and TWBX files
Getting connection information from data sources and workbooks
- Server Name
- Username
- Database Name
- Authentication Type
- Connection Type
Updating connection information in workbooks and data sources
- Server Name
- Username
- Database Name
Getting Field information from data sources and workbooks
- Get all fields in a data source
- Get all fields in use by certain sheets in a workbook

We don't yet support creating files from scratch, adding extracts into workbooks or data sources, or updating field information

As of 2021, this SDK no longer supports Python 2.
