Using a URL string as one of its parameters, sends an HTTP GET request to Tableau Server. The result is returned as a .CSV file.
tabcmd get "[URL of your view].csv" -f "[FileName].csv"
Example
tabcmd get "/views/Finance/InvestmentGrowth.csv" -f "InvestmentGrowth.csv"
Exports summary data from a view on Tableau Server and saves it to a file.
tabcmd export "[URL after views/]" --csv -f "[FileName]"
where [remainder of URL] is the URL path starting after views/.
Example
Command for exporting a view using the following full URL:
http://server-name/views/Q1Sales/Sales_Report
tabcmd export "Q1Sales/Sales_Report" --csv -f "weekly-report"
The above commands, tabcmd get and tabcmd export --csv, are both equivalent to choosing "Export > Data" when reviewing the published workbook in browser. This means that the summary data is exported rather than the crosstab itself, therefore crosstab formatting may be lost (such as column order, orientation of rows and columns, etc.).
