Downloading tableau workbook from tableau server with data

tableau-api

Solution

You can do this programmatically in python simply. `TSC(Tableau Server Client)` is the python library for tableau server. You can publish, update, delete and download workbooks freely using `TSC` Please visit `https://github.com/tableau/server-client-python/blob/master/docs/docs/api-ref.md` On this page, just search by `"workbooks.download"`, then you will get the instructions how to download a workbook with data extraction.

Problem

I am new to using tableau server. I wanted to know if it was possible to download a tableau workbook (which is linked to a live SQL DB) with the data from the tableau server? Basically I would want to have a downloaded packaged tableau file which I can pass around for demos, without having to connect to the database every time.
