Tableau REST API Snippets for Atom

Install

Go to atom > Preferences... then search for Tableau REST Snippets in the Install tab.

Usage

All the snippets follow this convention tr[activity][target]

You always want to start with trlogin. This will create the variables and login function you will need to do everything else with the API. Logout is accomplished with trlogout.

In the login function, there is also sample code you can re-use to extract different ID values from the API response codes. The basic syntax goes like this:

  • var1 = response.getElementsByTagName('item you want')[0];
  • var2 = var1.getAttribute('attribute');

You can find more details about the elements and attributes here

Snippet Convention

The items that go into [activity] and [target] fall into a few categories, activity and target. The snippets use that basic categorization to help with finding what you want.

####Activities

  • Create (c)
  • Add (a)
  • Delete (d)
  • Update (u)
  • Query (q)
  • Download (dl)
  • Publish (p)

####Targets

  • Sites (s)
  • Data Sources (d)
  • File Upload (f)
  • Groups (g)
  • Projects (pr)
  • Permissions (p)
  • Users (u)
  • Workbooks (w)

####Example If you want to login, use 'trlogin'.

login

If you want to create a site, use 'trcs'.

If you want to get a Workbook's thumbnail, use 'trqwi'
