Tableau GraphQL API

The Tableau Metadata API is a GraphQL-based API introduced in Tableau 2019.3 that enables querying of metadata about Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud content, data assets, and data lineage. It provides a rich schema for discovering relationships between workbooks, data sources, databases, tables, columns, fields, flows, users, projects, and more. The API supports querying data lineage at a granular level, making it valuable for data governance, impact analysis, and catalog tooling.
