You can use a web data connector to connect to data that is accessible over HTTP and that doesn't already have a connector. A web data connector is an HTML file that includes JavaScript code. You can create your own web data connector or use one that has been created by someone else. The web data connector must be hosted on a web server running locally on your computer, on a web server in your domain, or on a third-party web server.

Casi d'uso

Create custom connections to data on the web and make that data available in Tableau.

Vantaggi

  • Create your own WDC that reads data from virtually any site that publishes data in JSON, XML, or HTML.
  • Allows for interactivity with your user through forms for selection and filtering.
