With the help of REST API, you can manage and update the resources available on the Tableau server.

  1. use tabcmd, it's really easy to configure.
  2. You can use the trusted ticket API or REST API to get a ticket and then curl or equivalent and a specially constructed URL.
  3. Do it all in code, see this example from VizAlerts
  4. If you're using Tableau Server then VizAlerts could be an option and that adds in scheduling, threshold-based alerting, etc. We're working on adding file export as a feature for VizAlerts, if you've got Python chops we'd be glad for the help!
