Getting Started
- Clone this repository.
- Select the version of the REST API that you want to use. The API version corresponds to the version of Tableau Server that you use. For more information, see API Versions in the documentation. You will have to configure the samples to use the API version that you select.
- Try the samples against your Tableau Server or Tableau Online.
- Use 'Issues' to note any bugs or to request new samples.
- Let us know if you have samples of your own you'd like to share.
Note: the Java samples are written for Java 8, and will not run against Java 11 or Java 13. We do plan to update them, but if you send a PR that would also be welome!
