Tableau REST API OpenAPI Endpoints (latest)

Download OpenAPI specification:Download

Versions: Tableau Server 2021.1 / Tableau Cloud March 2022 and later

This documentation describes the growing number OpenAPI endpoints being released alongside more than 150 classic REST endpoints that are currently in wide usage in the Tableau community.

There are some differences users of the classic endpoints will recognize when viewing these new endpoints.

Request bodies for these new REST endpoints must be formatted using JSON.
Endpoint URIs may contain a hyphen ('-') instead of an API version number, indicating that the resource is versioned separately from the numbered API release. For more information, see REST API and Resource Versions.

Starting in Tableau Server 2022.1 / Tableau Cloud March 2022, differences between releases will be noted in this reference.To view the previous version of this reference, see Tableau REST API OpenAPI Endpoints (v2021.4).

Analytics Extensions Settings Methods

Enable and configure analytics extensions on sites and, for on premise installations, on servers. With these extensions you can extend Tableau dynamic calculations with languages like R and python, and with other tools and platforms. For more information, see Analytics Extensions API.

When upgrading from a server version less than 2020.2, analytics extensions must be enabled on each site even if external services were enabled on the server being upgraded. Connections for sites must be ported manually.

Using the analytics extensions settings methods you can:

Enable and disable analytics extensions for a Tableau server (on-premise only) or for a site.
Create and manage an extension's connections to the service hosting your custom calculations.

Enable or disable analytics extensions on server

Enables or disables analytics extensions on a server.

Ask Data Lens Methods - Retired in API 3.22

Retired in API 3.22 (Cloud February 2024 / Server 2024.2)

In February 2024, Tableau's Ask Data and Metrics features and their REST API methods will be retired in Tableau Cloud and Tableau Server version 2024.1. With advances in natural language technologies, we're developing an improved interface that will make it easier to ask questions of your data and stay on top of changes. For more information, see How Tableau GPT and Tableau Pulse are reimagining the data experience.

Ask data lenses enable you to refine the way a user's natural language query is interpreted, based on the specific audience they belong to.

For instance, you might make one lens for medical staff at a hospital, and another for administrative staff. A lens allows you to define synonyms to associate key words with common terms used for them. For instance, "SF" for "San Francisco", or "Rx" for "prescription". You can also configure recommended visualizations for each lens.

Introduced: Tableau Cloud June 2022. Not currently available for Tableau Server.

Using the Tableau REST API, you can:
Create a lens and configure its properties

Delete a lens

Import an existing lens

Get a list of lenses on a site or the details of a specified lens

License: No additional license required.

Access Scope: 'tableau:lenses:create'
Access Scopes Overview: Cloud | Server-Windows | Server-Linux

The request and response bodies for a lens import each have two parts: the first describes the attributes of the lens being imported, and the second describes transformations, which are changes to the lens metadata, to apply during import.

Use the entire response object from a request to the Get ask data lens method in your import request body.

Lens attributes that can optionally be transformed include name, data source, project, and owner. The original metadata of a lens is replaced by the transformation metadata in the new project the lens is imported to. While 'lens_transformation' is optional in an import request, a transformation definition will be needed in most cases.

Example transformation use cases

To publish a lens to a new site with modified metadata, sign in to the new site and include the following in your request: '' "lens_transformations": { "datasource_id": "", "project_id": "", "owner_id": "" "name": "", "description": "", } ''
To publish a lens to a different project in the same site, while signed in to the site, use: '' "lens_transformations": { "project_id": "new project id", } ''

Version: Available in API 3.16 ( Tableau Cloud June 2022 / Server 2022.3) and later. Versioning Overview

Permissions: Search results will be limited to those objects that the user has permissions to access. Permissions Overview

License: No additional license required.

Access Scope: Not available.
Access Scopes Overview: Cloud | Server-Windows | Server-Linux

For example, 'MY_SERVER/api/-/search?terms=productID' could return the Sales workbook that contains a data field named 'productID' as well as Superstore database containing a table with a column named 'productID'.

Query parameters can be combined to refine your search. For instance, the request for a search on the term "sales", for workbooks created in 2021 or later, sorted by the number of times the content has been viewed since its creation, with smallest number of views first, would look like:

'/search?terms=sales&filter=type:eq:workbook&modifiedTime:gte:2021&sort=hitsTotal:asc'

Content types returned can include:

'lens'
'datasource'
'virtualconnection'
'collection'
'project'
'flow'
'datarole'

'table'
'database'
'metric'
'view'
'workbook'
'simulation'

query Parameters

terms	string (Optional) One or more terms the search uses as the basis for which items are relevant to return. The items may be of any supported content type. The relevance may be assessed based on any element of a given item. If no terms are supplied, then results will be based filtering and page size limits.
page	integer <int64> (Optional) The number of the page in the list response pages to return. Maximum number of items returned is 10,000
limit	integer <int32> (Optional) The number of items to return on each response page. The default is 10.
order_by	string Enum: "hitsTotal" "hitsSmallSpanTotal" "hitsMediumSpanTotal" "hitsLargeSpanTotal" "downstreamWorkbookCount" (Optional) The sorting method for items returned, based on the popularity of the item. You can sort based on: 'hitsTotal' - The number of times a content item has been viewed since it was created. 'hitsSmallSpanTotal' The number of times viewed in the last month. 'hitsMediumSpanTotal' The number of times viewed in the last three months. 'hitsLargeSpanTotal' The number of times viewed in the last twelve months. 'downstreamWorkbookCount' The number workbooks in a given project. This value is only returned when the request 'filter' expression is '=type:eq:table' or '=type:eq:database'. Append ':asc' or ':desc' to determine sort direction. The default is 'asc'. Your search expression can have more than one comma separated 'order_by' element. If there is a tie between two items for the first 'order_by' expression, then sort order between the two items will be determined by the second 'order_by' expression. The following expression sorts items from the fewest views since creation and, in case of a tie, by the one that has the most recent views. '?order_by=hitsTotal:asc,hitsSmallSpanTotal:desc'
filter	string (Optional) An expression to filter the response using one of the following parameters, or a combination of expressions separated by a comma. 'type' The content type, using the 'eq' or 'in' operator in expressions like: '?filter=type:eq:workbook' '?filter=type:in:[workbook,datasource]' Note: The 'in' operator is available in API 3.17 (Tableau Cloud October 2022 / Server 2022.3) and later. or: 'ownerId' Resource owner ID or last modified time, using 'eq', 'lte', 'gte', 'gt', or 'in' operator in an expression like: 'filter=modifiedTime:gte:2022-01-11T08:00:00.000Z' or: 'modifiedTime' Resource owner ID or last modified time, using 'eq', 'lte', 'gte', 'gt', or 'in' operator in an expression like: `'filter=ownerId:in:[akhil,fred,alice]'` For more information about filter expressions, see Filtering and Sorting in the Tableau REST API.

Dashboard Extensions Settings Methods - Retired in API 3.21

Retired in API 3.21 (Cloud October 2023 / Server 2023.3)

In October 2023 Tableau Cloud and Tableau Server version 2023.3 releases, Tableau's REST API methods for dashboard extensions settings are retired. We recommend you replace dashboard extensions methods for enabling, listing, getting details of, and updating dashboard extensions with Tableau extensions settings methods that have similar functionality.

Enable and configure security for dashboard extensions on sites and, for on premise installations, on servers. With these extensions you can add custom features to a dashboard using JavaScript.

Using the extension methods of the Tableau Server REST API you can:

List the settings for extensions of a server or site
Enable or disable extensions or sandboxed extensions for a server or site
List, get, create, and delete entries in server blocked extensions list
List, get, create, update, and delete entries in server allowed (safe) extensions list

This functionality relates to the UI elements and concepts described at Manage Dashboard Settings.

Identity Pools Methods

Identity pools are an identity management tool that uses provisioning and authentication information to enable user access to Tableau Server. Identity pools enable a more centralized and flexible identity management workflow. For more information, see Provision and Authenticate Users Using Identity Pools in the Tableau Server Help.

The identity pools methods allow you to:

Provision users by creating a new local identity store instance. Note: Skip this step to use an existing local identity store or the external identity store you configured in TSM during Tableau Server setup.
Set up an authentication method to authenticate your users to Tableau Server using OpenID Connect (OIDC).
Create an identity pool that uses the identity store and authentication method you configured.
Add users to an identity pool using the Add User to Identity Pool endpoint using the Tableau REST API.

Refer to the Tableau Server Help for testing, managing, and troubleshooting identity pools.

Note: Identity pools do not replace the user provisioning and authentication configurations you made during Tableau Server setup. The purpose of identity pools is to complement and support additional user provisioning and authentication options you might need in your organization.

Prerequisites

Before getting started with identity pools, the following requirements must be met:

Integration with an OIDC identity provider (IdP), such as Okta, is already configured
You are running Tableau Server 2023.1 or later
You have performed the identity migration if you are running Tableau Server after upgrading from version 2021.4 or earlier
You have performed the steps described at Step 1: Configure Tableau Server and establish a session in the Tableau Server Help

You can use the Identity Pools Postman collection in the Salesforce Developer's Postman workspace to learn about, develop, and test the methods described.

This functionality relates to the concepts and procedures described in the Set Up and Manage Identity Pools topic in the Tableau Server Help.

Create Authentication Configuration

Create an instance of OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication.

For more information, see Step 3: Set up authentication in the Tableau Server Help.

Pulse Methods

With Tableau Pulse, Tableau Cloud users can follow metrics and use guided exploration to understand more about their data. In addition to viewing metrics from the Tableau Pulse home page, users can receive digests via Slack or email that include insights into important changes in their data so users can stay up to date.

Tableau Pulse Overview

A metric definition specifies the metadata for all related metrics created using the definition. This includes the data source, measure, time dimension, and which data source dimensions can be filtered by users or programmatically to create related metrics.
- Example: A metric definition might specify that the data source is the Superstore sales database, and that the measure to focus on is the aggregation "sum of sales". It could define the filterable dimensions as region and product line, that the time dimension for analysis is order date, and that the favorable direction is for the metric to increase.
A metric is the interactive object that users follow and receive updates on. It specifies the values to give the filterable dimensions of the metric's definition and the measurement time period of the metric.
- Example: A user or REST request could filter the metric, and its automatically generated insights, based on the West region and product line sold. The insight provided might call out that discounted sales have risen sharply in a region between last quarter and the current one.
A user who follows (has a subscription to) a metric can receive digests via email or Slack. Digests can also be viewed in the Metrics home page in the Tableau UI.
A digest provides summary visualizations and text describing the top insights for a metric. It also displays links to further metric details and to suggested follow up questions based on the metric's data and insights.
An insight is a data-driven observation about a metric.Tableau automatically generates and ranks insights by usefulness.
An insight bundle is a collection of insights for a metric That can be configured to include various elements.

For more information and to learn about the UI features related to these methods, see Create Pulse Metrics.

Configuring Pulse insights for a metric

You can use Pulse REST API methods to generate an insight bundle for a metric. An insight bundle request specifies the metric being analyzed, the output format (text or HTML), time frame, and additional filters for the insights in the bundle.

In the request, you configure the type of insight bundle that should be provided for a metric. Types include:

'basic' - Contains the current number, percentage, or currency value aggregated for the metric.
'springboard' - Contains period-over-period change, time series, and the top-ranked insight that exceed a "usefulness" score.
'detail' - Contains all ranked insights and follow up suggestions for a metric.

Process suggestion: Bundles are rich and complex objects that can be challenging to build manually. One approach to efficiently create the JSON for a bundle is to use the Tableau user interface to create the form of metric definition and metrics you want to produce programmatically. Then you can navigate to a metric and use your browsers' inspector to view and copy the JSON response for the insight bundle. You can use the JSON directly or as a template in your code.

Insight types

Depending on the type of insight bundle you request and the shape of your data source, some or all of the following types of insights will be returned.

Value	Name	Description
popc	Period over Period Change	Shows how a metric has changed between two periods. Highlights the change between a metric value for a recent time range compared to an equivalent time range in a prior period or the past.
riskmo	Risky Monopoly	Shows when a small number of dimension members make up a majority (50% or more) of the contribution to a metric. Shows dimensions with a concentration of very high values. A risky monopoly is a situation when a small number of dimension members make up a majority (50% or more) of the contribution to a metric.
top-contributors	Top Contributors	Shows the highest values in a dimension for a metric within a given time range. A top contributor is a dimension member that ranks in the top N in contribution to the scoped metric’s value, aggregated on a specified time range.
top-contributors	Bottom Contributors	Shows the lowest values in a dimension for a metric within a given time range. A bottom contributor is a dimension member that ranks in the bottom N in contribution to the scoped metric’s value, aggregated on a specified time range.
top-drivers	Top Drivers	Shows values for dimension members that changed the most in the same direction as the observed change in the metric. Shows the values for a metric that increased the most across a specified time offset. A top driver is a dimension member that ranks in the top N in driving a change in a metric value between two separate but equivalent time ranges. Top drivers are analyzed using metric values from two separate but equivalent time ranges (such as Sales for day of October 2 versus Sales for day of October 3) to look for changes to the contributions in the same direction of the change made by dimension members.
top-detractors	Top Detractors	Shows values for dimension members that changed the most in the opposite direction to the observed change in the metric. Shows values for a metric that are most opposed to top drivers decreased the most across a specified time offset. A top detractor is a dimension member that ranks in the bottom N in driving a change in a metric value between two separate but equivalent time ranges. This insight's values oppose the observed change the most. Top detractors are analyzed using metric values from two separate but equivalent time ranges (such as Sales for day of October 2 versus Sales for day of October 3) to look for changes to the contributions in the same direction of the change made by dimension members.
unusualchange	Unusually High/Low Metric value	Shows unexpected changes in a metric value. Shows when the value of a metric for a given time range is higher or lower than the expected range based on historic observations of the metric. This insight highlights when the value of a metric for a given time range is higher or lower than the expected range based on historic observations of the metric.
newtrend	New Trend Detected	Shows new trends that vary significantly from the current trend. This insight communicates the rate of change, direction, and fluctuations for the metric value.

List followed metrics groups

Gets the user's followed metrics. Optionally metrics can be grouped by characteristics like datasource, and sorted.

If no grouping and sorting is specified then returns are grouped and sorted by existing user preferences. If no user preferences exist or are specified, then metrics are grouped by most recently followed, in descending order. If metrics are grouped by most recently followed then they are returned in a single group, that is sorted by the specified, existing, or default order.
