Tableau download export images using Rest api python

Question

Using a Python script, I need to retrieve a picture from the tableau server. There is no such option in the Tableau Rest API. I'd want to know how to use python or another server scripting language to obtain a high-resolution/full-size picture from the tableau server.

Answer 1

The easiest method is to send an HTTP GET request from Python to your Tableau Server with a format string like ".png" or ".pdf" appended to the URL.

You may also play with with the size choices by pressing the Share button to view the syntax.

Filter settings can also be sent as query parameters in the URL.
