Document API

This repo contains Python source and example files for the Tableau Document API. The Document API provides a useful but unsupported 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 :) Get help from other users on the Tableau Community Forums.

Features include:

  • Support for TWB, TWBX, TDE and TDSX files starting roughly back to Tableau 9.x

  • 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

  • It doesn't 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.

For Hyper files, take a look at the Tableau Hyper API.
