Working with Content and the Tableau Server REST API

Use case: We're building a Portal-like application on top of Tableau Server, to present content (workbooks) to a user in our company-branded interface.

Through the REST API, there are many endpoints made available to us to interact with content. In the present use case, we'll simply list workbooks, but there are many, many other things that we can do, including:

• Provisioning users (see Provisioning) and groups.
• Reading and setting permissions.
• Managing data sources and workbooks.
• Working with extracts.
• Accessing metadata.
• Publishing content.
• And much more!

Before proceeding, please make sure you are logged in to the application.
