Inspiration
I had a call with a client of Tableau that wanted to understand how to leverage the Tableau Catalog and its Metadata API into other applications, so I decided to build a simple Chrome Extension to showcase it
What it does
It simply queries any Tableau Server or Tableau Online 's Data Catalog, using the user's personal access token
How we built it
Node.js to build the Chrome Extension, and a bit of html/js/css
Challenges we ran into
The extension lacks auto-complete for graphql
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are able to export the results to a json file for quick exploration of the results, e.g. with Tableau Desktop.
What we learned
How to leverage Metadata API in other applications and how to build chrome extensions
