Tableau Extension API with Python based Web Application

raghunath.cpmenon.8178 Dec 19, 2018 1:26 PM

Hi,

Would it be possible to create a Tableau Extension that integrate a web application written in Flask/Django python web-frameworks?

The web application do certain read/write operations to datasource (BigQuery) and send response back to Tableau Dashboard and render Tableau-Viz based on operation(write-back) status.

or if it is not possible, can we state Tableau Extension API work only with javascript based web application?

Please share your thoughts/pointers.

Thanks,

Raghu

Hello Raghunath,

I have moved this post to the Extensions API area of the forums. Could you let the community know if you have made any headway since this was posted?

Hi Raghu,

I created a Python Flask extension for a procurement use case which demonstrates write-back to a MySQL database. The code shouldn't be too hard to reverse engineer for BigQuery. Please feel free to ping me with questions.
