PyPI Changelog Tests License

Fetch data from Tableau into a SQLite database. A wrapper around TableauScraper.

Install this tool using pip:

$ pip install tableau-to-sqlite

Usage

You need to know the name of the Tableau view you want to import. This will be two strings separated by a / symbol - something like this:

OregonCOVID-19VaccineProviderEnrollment/COVID-19VaccineProviderEnrollment

Now run the tool like this:

tableau-to-sqlite tableau.db \
    OregonCOVID-19VaccineProviderEnrollment/COVID-19VaccineProviderEnrollment

This will create a SQLite database called tableau.db containing one table for each of the worksheepts in the view.
