Connecting to APIs in Tableau Desktop using Python & TabPy
Don't forget to click Subscribe if you want more weekly data-related updates!
Sometimes we want to connect directly to third-party data to enrich our analysis. For example, if you're looking at daily foreign exchange data it's more efficient to get this data directly through a API, on a daily basis. But how do you do this in Tableau?
Join Tableau DataDev Ambassador Anya Prosvetova to learn how to extend Tableau's capabilities, and dynamically bring data from an external API directly to your Tableau dashboard using Python and TabPy
