I am trying to figure out how I can import data from a web site into Tableau. This is the link I am trying to get data from.

I am trying to use the Web Data Connector, but I don't think that's the right tool. I'm not sure how to get the data into Tableau, or if it's even possible.
Thanks.

I need to use two data sources. One is SQL and another one is the response from a rest API.
I tried to implement WDC, but it needs an HTML and user need to interact with UI and getting the response.
But I don't want to create a html page.
Is there any way to use an API response as a data source in Tableau?
The short answer is that you can not use API directly as a data source but you should build a pipeline to transform this into flat-file o populate a database table.
The alternative answer is to use Python to connect to the REST API. You can choose to use TabPy or follow some pre-build solution like this one. Personally, I don't know how the performances could be.
I'm trying to make a request to an API. I have tested it on Postman, and it's working fine. What a I would like to achieve is make a similar process on Pentaho Data Integration, I guess I should use the REST Cliente step.
I have seen a couple of videos and asked question on forums about this step. I had a running request on other free access API using this step on Pentaho, but now I'm trying to do the same with this new one. Anyone may help to do it?
I attached screenshots about how I have tested it on Postman. Thank's in advanced.enter image description here
From the image you have shared looks like you are trying to do a post.
Either way the below setup could help you achieve that.
You can probably have below approach.
Generate Rows > Rest Client > Table
And with that, you can have API URL and auth info on generate row step, define fields on the REST Client Step and insert the data into a table.
I have existing Tableu Server workbook with diagrams and own datasources(mysql).
Is it possible to fetch data from Tableau Server via Rest Api, e.g. if I build a custom web dashboard and need only data from Tableau?
I am interested in Tableaus ability to filter/aggregate data, thats what it does for its diagrams, would be great to harvest it from custom Python web page for my custom diagrams (e.g. for D3 or Highcharts).
Is "Extracts API" the right direction for this?
Or the path with "Query View Data" is the solution?
If you want to specify the filter values and get the exact set of data that your diagrams/workbooks are using, go with the Query View Data solution.
If you pull the data from the extract, you will get it exactly as it is out of the extract. This means if you have filters or aggregation done in your visualization (which is processed after the extract), it won't apply to the extracted data.
I am trying to access data via the analytics reportingv4 API. I am using the.net version in visual studio. I can get it to return data but just not the data I want.
I am using a specific account that only has one view attached to it. If I try to view the data I'm looking for, using the web interface, it works, by filtering it using the search box. For example, there is currently 20 page hits for today. If I try the same, using the API, no data is returned. If I remove the filter, from my code, data is returned but none of the pages that I am looking for.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I was being silly. I eventually noticed that I was supplying a date range for the year 2017! The processing which
I have downloaded SAP crystal report and I would like to know can I get data in my report through an API? I want to get data through Amazon MWS API. Please advise is it possible and is there any documentation.
EDIT: Basically I am trying to use the XML and Web Services item of database expert pop up in crystal reports 2013. Now as you know it expects either a XML url or a web service data source. I need to get data from amazon MWS API, so not sure how to use it here. Also since I am new to crystal reports so for better understanding the concepts I am testing/trying both methods to make it work. I have even followed this tutorial - http://trustedbi.com/2009/05/19/cr-webservice/ but this does not work - it is not populating the method,port and service. I have even created a test xml file from here(http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_usedfor.asp) and saved it locally on my pc and gave that URL but now the error is "Logon failed: schema not defined". My first step is to try it with a simple solution to see how crystal reports work and then figure out how can I use the MWS API.
