Tableau Server on Windows Help

Use Tableau Server REST APIs to automate and seamlessly integrate Tableau into your existing workflows. Tableau Server REST API gives you programmatic access to work with your content, users, sites, and now flows. Manage provisioning, permissions, and publishing on Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud via HTTP. The REST API gives you access to the functionality behind the data sources, projects, workbooks, site users, sites, and flows. You can use this access to create custom applications or to script interactions with server resources.

Tableau REST API supports the following flow functionality:

New flow endpoints have been added to support publishing flows, scheduling flows, running flows on demand, managing permissions, downloading flows and such. For a full list of all the new REST API endpoints for flows, see Flow Methods(Link opens in a new window).

In addition, existing endpoints(Link opens in a new window) have been updated to support flow functionality such as Creating New Schedules for Flows, Creating new sites, updating existing sites, and managing default permissions.

Note: The Data Management license is required when using REST API to run flows.
