In this blog , I am going share with you how to refresh extact using API calls.
- Install tableau python api packages
- also via pip: ” pip install tableauserverclient “
- use the this example python
- you are going to need: user, password, tableau sever ip address and workbook id.
- the workbook id is Luid (Workbooks) – this was the harded this to get. the idea was to connect to the postgress DB of tableau after the command runs enable a read only user and get the ID’s. Credit goes to Tomer Ben Tovim
The python package install :
pip install tableauserverclient
the tableau api call full example is committed in out git
from tableausdk import *
from tableausdk.HyperExtract import *
import tableauserverclient as TSC
user='omid'
password='123'
tableau_auth = TSC.TableauAuth(user, password)
server = TSC.Server('http://10.1.0.1')
server.version = '3.6'
resource_id= 6109
with server.auth.sign_in(tableau_auth):
print('connection made')
print(server.version)
#resource = server.workbooks.get_by_id(resource_id)
server.workbooks.refresh(workbook_id='37A13D3E-64D9-4F9B-ACD5-2FCB0291BF24')
server.auth.sign_out()
print('connection closed')
