[FIXED] Tableau dashboard refresh using Python

Issue

Is there a way to refresh Tableau dashboards using Python? I need to refresh Tableau dashboards after my data is loaded into DB.

Solution

The Tableau REST API will allow you to refresh your extracts via Python.

Here is an example of a script which should get you started:

import tableauserverclient as TSC

tableau_auth = TSC.TableauAuth(user, password)
server = TSC.Server('Address')
server.version = '2.3'
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='6109')

server.auth.sign_out()
print('connection closed')
