Tableau Python API

This is a python script based off of an example in Tableau Server Client (Python)

The script in the link above is not working as is (as of 11/13/2020), so this script is to help export csv/png/pdf of a view in your Tableau server.

Prerequisites

You need to have installed Python 3.5 or later.

You also need to install tableau server client python package.

To install the package, type the following:

pip install tableauserverclient

or

pip install -r requirements.txt

Installing

When you run the script, you can use the command like the following:

python export_view.py -s SITENAME -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -v YOURVIEWNAME --csv -f YOURFILENAME.csv

And you can also add other arguments as neccesary. Look into the code for details.

One thing to note is that you cannot export a csv and a png/pdf or vice verse in one run.
