Error "URL points to a website, not a web data connector" When Using Web Data Connector

Publiseringsdato: Mar 25, 2025
Beskrivelse
When using the Web Data Connector to connect to a web data source, the following error might occur:

URL points to a website, not a web data connector

Cause

A WDC is an HTML page with JavaScript code that connects to web data, for example, by means of a REST API, converts the data to JSON format, and passes the data to Tableau. 
 
Løsning
Make sure that you enter the URL of a web data connector, and not the URL of the data that you’re trying to connect to. 
Flere ressurser

You can test this by browsing to the WDC URL in any internet browser. If you are given the options to enter information for the data (such as the ZIP code in the King County Food Inspection Data), then you are going to a WDC. If the site looks like standard website (or a list of data) then you are not using a valid WDC.
