Accessing the API
The API is about programmatically controlling embedded views published
to Tableau Server on premise or a Tableau hosted server. To use it, you
need access to a server running version 8.0 or later, and a published
workbook on that server.
The API is provided through the file tableau_v8.js (minified) or
tableau_v8.debug.js. In web pages that contain your JavaScript code for
rendering Tableau views, you can reference the API files using the
following address:
http://<your_server_name>/javascripts/api/
For example, using the server name localhost, you would add the following code in the page header:
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/javascripts/api/tableau_v8.js">
</SCRIPT>
The file system location of these files is Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\8.2\wgserver\public\javascripts\api.
