Extract API

Data Connectivity

Create custom scripts that pull your data into Tableau data extracts.

Read More

Hyper API

Create custom scripts that interact with extract (.hyper) files.

Use Cases: Connect to data sources with the Hyper API and write the data into extract files (in the .hyper file format for Tableau 10.5 and later). Write custom scripts that update data in existing extract files or read data from them.

Benefits: If you can connect to your data, you can use the Hyper API to create data extracts that improve performance and provide offline access. If you have data sources that are not currently supported, you can use the Hyper API to get the data into Tableau. If you want to update data within extract files, you can use the Hyper API to update the extract. If you need to access data from an extract, you can now write a script that reads the data from the extract.
