Tableau List Projects Workbooks Views for an authenticated user

0 votes
This URL, for example, has a dozen or so projects: https://tableautest.domain.uk/t/CustomerSharing/view/projects

There are multiple workbooks in each project. There are multiple views inside each worksheet. Some are Tableau reports, while others are external links.

How can I programmatically show all of this, whether using the JavaScript API or the REST API? Using the JavaScript API, I can authenticate against Tableau. As I previously stated, what I would like to do next is (for the logged in user)

https://tableautest.domain.uk/t/CustomerSharing/view/projects has a list of projects.

When users enter a project on the site, a list of workbooks for that project for that user should be displayed for the aforementioned URL.

When users enter a project on the site, a list of workbooks for that project for that user should be displayed for the aforementioned URL.

When users go into a workbook from (2), it redirects or inserts it into an iFrame to show the links to views depending on the type of view.

Please advise on the most effective method of accomplishing this. This would be lot better if we could just receive a list of Sites > Projects > Workbooks > Dashboard > Views

I recently utilised the Tableau Rest API and found it to be really handy when inquiring for details on a project or workbook, therefore I would recommend that you look at the Tableau REST API guide. It should assist you in resolving your concerns 1 and 2.

I used Postman to double-check that I was obtaining the information I needed before continuing with the Tableau REST API wrapper in Python (I have forked off this repo to support some functionality that was not available here).

Furthermore, the REST API allows server authentication, but I've been using Admin rights for all of my interactions, therefore user account login requires verification.

You appear to be able to solve the third difficulty you mentioned.
