Overview of Tableau#

The Tableau API allows you to tap into the robust data visualization and business intelligence capabilities of Tableau. Within Pipedream, you can leverage this API to automate reporting, manage users, update data sources, and extract insights. This enables you to integrate Tableau's analytics with other services, streamlining your data workflows and ensuring your dashboards remain up-to-date with minimal manual effort.

Connect Tableau#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    tableau: {
      type: "app",
      app: "tableau",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://${this.tableau.$auth.domain}/api/3.21/sessions/current`,
      headers: {
        "X-Tableau-Auth": `${this.tableau.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
        "Accept": `application/json`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Python#

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Python#

def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
  # Reference data from previous steps
  print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])
  # Return data for use in future steps
  return {"foo": {"test":True}}
