Added in REST API 3.7 for Tableau Server 2020.1 and Tableau Cloud

• Administrators can now use Get Site or Update Site to view the Tiered Capacities (maximum users of a site for each license type or role) configured for a site. For a site that has user-based licensing with no licensing limits set by its administrator, maximums for Creator, Explorer, and Viewer licensed users are determined by the activated licenses for each role on the site. On-premise server administrators can set the Tiered Capacity attributes to lower the user limits on any or all of the license types using Create Site or Update Site.
• You can now get the groups a site user belongs to with a REST API call.
• You can now manage view recommendations using the REST API. Use Get View Recommendations, to get a current list of recommended views. Use Hide a View Recommendation, to hide a view from the list of recommended views. Use Unhide a View Recommendation, to hide a view from the list of recommended views.

Added in REST API 3.6 for Tableau Server 2019.4

• With the appropriate permissions, you can query, set, and delete permissions on databases and tables using the following methods: Add Database Permissions, Query Database Permissions, Add Default Database Permissions, Query Default Database Permissions, Delete Database Permissions, Delete Default Database Permissions, Add Table Permissions, Query Table Permissions, Delete Table Permissions.
• You can now use a Personal Access Token (PAT), instead of plain text username and password, to sign in to Tableau Server or Online with the REST API. Signing in with a PAT returns the same form of credentials token as a password sign in, but PATs are more secure because they are revocable, they can be easily monitored, and they avoid revealing identifying information in scripts and tools. Administrators can make the impact of each process more visible by using separate PATs for each process. PATs allow you to change sign in credentials for a user without affecting their Tableau user credentials.
• Using Tableau Webhooks(Link opens in a new window), you can now build custom applications or workflows that react to events that happen in Tableau. For example, you could use webhooks to send an SMS or Slack notification any time a data source refresh fails. Use the REST API to create and manage your webhooks for a site. This initial release enables 13 workbook, data source and view events to fire notifications to destination URL of your choosing.

Added in REST API 3.5 for Tableau Server 2019.3

• You can now manage extract encryption at rest. To learn more, see Extract Encryption Methods.
• You can query or update metadata indexed by or surfaced through Tableau Catalog. To learn more, see Metadata Methods.
• With administrator permissions, you can now globally enable or disable attachments for subscriptions to workbooks and views in a site. You can read the enablement status in response bodies for Query Sites, Query Site, Create Site, and Update Sites requests. Enablement state can be set during Create Site and Update Site calls.
• Users can now determine the file format (.png and/or .pdf) of the attachments for a subscribed workbook or view. Attachment settings can be viewed in response bodies for Query Subscriptions, Query Subscriptions, Create Subscription, and Update Subscription requests. Attachment format can be set using Create Subscription or Update Subscription requests.

Added in REST API 3.4 for Tableau Server 2019.2

• You can now use the maxAge parameter of the Query View Image method to set or get the limit for the age of a cached image of a view in your workbook. When that limit is passed accessing a view image will refresh the cache with a current image.
• You can now use the public parameter of the Get Data-Driven Alert method to set or get whether users who do not own an alert can discover and subscribe to it.
• You can now use the Download Workbook PDF method to download a PDF containing the views in the a workbook.

Added in REST API 3.3 for Tableau Server 2019.1

• When you publish a workbook that contains a user filter, you can now specify which user should be used to generate thumbnails by using the generateThumbnailsAsUser attribute. To learn more, see Publish Workbook.
• You can now manage flows. To learn more, see Flow Methods, Add Flow to Favorites, and Delete Flow from Favorites.

Added in REST API 3.2 for Tableau Server 2018.3

• When you call the Publish Workbook method with hidden sheets (also known as views) those sheets are no longer included in the published workbook.
• You can now manage permissions for views using the Add View Permissions, Query View Permissions, and Delete View Permission methods.

  • Added: Add Project to Favorites
  • Added: Delete Project from Favorites
  • Updated: Get Favorites for User
• You can now publish data sources asynchronously by adding the asJob parameter to the Publish Data Source request URI. To learn more, see Publishing workbooks and data sources asynchronously.

Added in REST API 3.0 for Tableau Server 2018.1

• You can now publish workbooks that use multiple data source connections. To learn more, see Publish Workbook.
• Starting with the 2018.1 release of Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud, available site roles have changed significantly to support the new user-based Creator, Explorer and Viewer licenses. To learn more, see Updated Site Roles in REST API 3.0.
• You can now publish workbooks asynchronously by adding the asJob parameter to the Publish Workbook request URI. To learn more, see Publishing workbooks asynchronously.
• Additional fields are now available when making queries using the REST API:

• New method for getting images for views. You can get images in standard resolution and high resolution. For more information, see Query View Image.

• A new feature you can use to control the type and amount of data you want returned from some methods. You can qualify the return values based upon the type of resource (for example, workbooks or views), and fields (names, ids, and tags). You can include multiple fields in a request. You can combine this feature with filtering and sorting. For example, you can return the names of the all workbooks that were updated after a certain date. For more information, see Using Fields in the REST API.

• Support for JSON in the REST API. You can set Content-Type and Accept headers to application/json or application/xml to control whether you want send requests or receive responses in XML or JSON. For more information, see Fundamentals of the Tableau Server REST API and REST API Example Requests.

• Support for Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). You can now enable CORS on Tableau Server to allow cross-orgin requests to the REST API, making it easier to use the API with JavaScript. For more information, see Enabling CORS on Tableau Server for the REST API.

• A new feature that lets you add filter (name, createdDate, tags, and so on) to some methods. For example, instead of having to get all the users or workbooks for a site and then loop through them looking for a specific ones, you can add a filter to the method call to return just the users or workbooks you're interested in. You can also specify sort parameters to return the items in a defined order.

  For more information, see Filtering and Sorting in the REST API.

• New and updated methods for viewing, downloading, and removing versions (revisions) for workbooks and data sources:

  • Get Data Source Revisions

  • Download Data Source Revision

  • Remove Data Source Revision

  • Get Workbook Revisions

  • Update Data Source Connection. This method has new syntax that lets you specify which connection in a data source you want to update.

    Note: If the data source was created in Tableau 9.3 or earlier, the previous syntax for this method(Link opens in a new window) (without /connections/connection-id in the URI) will work for updating that data source. However, we recommend that you use the syntax documented here for all data sources.

  • Query Data Source Connections. This new method returns information about all the connections in a data source.

• Updates to the Update Site to let you upload a new logo image to a Tableau Cloud site.

Added in REST API 2.2 for Tableau Server 9.3

• New methods for querying schedules and tasks:

  • List Server Schedules

  • Query Extract Refresh Tasks

• The Query Views for Sites method.

• A new append parameter for the Publish Data Source method that lets you add data to a data source that was published previously.

• A new size attribute was added to the response for these methods:

  • Publish Workbook

  • Query Workbook

  • Query Workbooks for User

  • Update Workbook

• New createdAt and updatedAt attributes were added to the response for these methods:

  • Publish Data Source

  • Update Data Source

  • Update Workbook

Added in REST API 2.1 for Tableau Server 9.2

• New methods for setting default permissions. The REST API now has the following methods that let you set, view, and remove default permissions for a project. Default permissions let you specify a set of permissions that are applied to new content in a project.

  • Add Default Permissions

  • Query Default Permissions

  • Delete Default Permission

• Updated methods to support locking of project permissions. Permissions in a project can now be "locked" so that users cannot change permissions on individual workbooks or data sources in that project. The following methods have been updated in the REST API to enable you to lock or unlock permissions, or to view project default permissions.

  • Create Project

  • Query Data Source Permissions

  • Query Projects

  • Query Workbook Permissions

  • Update Project

• Changes to the project capabilities that you can set or delete permissions for. Starting in Tableau Server 9.2, projects support only these capabilities: Read (view), Write (save), and ProjectLeader. (In Tableau Server 9.1 and earlier, you could set capabilities that could apply to all content in the project.)

  Note: This is a change in the permissions model for Tableau Server itself, not just in the API. In Tableau Server 9.2, you cannot set permissions for any project capability except the ones listed here, even if you specify a previous version of the REST API in the URI.

  This change affects the following methods:

  • Add Project Permissions

  • Delete Project Permission

  • Query Project Permissions

  To set capabilities that apply to content in the project, you can use the new methods for setting default permissions (see earlier items in this list).

• Updated permissions for some methods to allow them to be called by site administrators in addition to server administrators. This also has the effect of making those methods available in Tableau Cloud. These are the affected methods:

  • Add Data Source Permissions

  • Add Project Permissions

  • Add Tags to Workbook

  • Add User to Group

  • Add User to Site

  • Add View to Favorites

  • Add Workbook Permissions

  • Add Workbook to Favorites

  • Append to File Upload

  • Create Group

  • Create Project

  • Delete Data Source

  • Delete Data Source Permission

  • Delete Project

  • Delete Project Permission

  • Delete Tag from Workbook

  • Delete View from Favorites

  • Delete Workbook

  • Delete Workbook from Favorites

  • Delete Workbook Permission

  • Download Data Source

  • Download Workbook

  • Get Users in Group

  • Get Users on Site

  • Initiate File Upload

  • Publish Data Source

  • Publish Workbook

  • Query Data Source

  • Query Data Source Permissions

  • Query Data Sources

  • Query Groups

  • Query Project Permissions

  • Query Projects

  • Query Site

  • Query User on Site

  • Query View Preview Image

  • Query Views for Workbook

  • Query Workbook

  • Query Workbook Connections

  • Query Workbook Permissions

  • Query Workbook Preview Image

  • Remove User from Group

  • Remove User from Site

  • Update Data Source

  • Update Data Source Connection

  • Update Group

  • Update Project

  • Update User

  • Update Workbook

  • Update Workbook Connection

• A new Delete Group method.

• Changes to required permissions for working with project permissions. In previous versions of the REST API, users who are not administrators can call Add Project Permissions or Delete Project Permission if they have ChangePermissions permissions. In REST API 2.1, users must instead have ProjectLeader permissions.

• More rigorous checking to be sure that payloads are well formed. The REST API now requires the structure of payloads to conform strictly to the XML schema (see next point) and to the applicable RFC specifications. For example, the payloads for methods that allow multi-part publishing (Append to File Upload, Publish Data Source, and Publish Workbook) must meet the RFC 1341 standard(Link opens in a new window) for multi-part payloads.

  The practical effect is that in some cases, payloads that were accepted in earlier versions of the REST API now cause an error and return a 500-level HTTP code. For example, in the Append to File Upload method, the first part of the payload is often blank, containing only content-disposition and content-type headers. With the change in the REST API 2.1, this blank payload must include two blank lines, per the RFC specification. Earlier versions of the REST API allowed you to include only one blank line, even though this structure did not conform exactly to the RFC specification.

• A new XML schema (version 2.1) for the REST API. For more information, see REST API XML Schema(Link opens in a new window).

• Updated versions of the Python and Java samples. For more information, see REST API Samples(Link opens in a new window).

Added in in REST API 2.0.1 for Tableau Server 9.1

• Updated namespace. The namespace and schema locations that are returned in the <tsResponse> blocks of REST API responses have been changed from tableausoftware.com to tableau.com.
