Retrieves a list of published data sources.

APIs called​

Optional arguments​

filter​

A filter expression as defined in the Tableau REST API Data Sources filter fields.

Example: name:eq:Project Views

pageSize​

The value of the page-size argument provided to the Query Data Sources REST API. The tool automatically performs pagination and will repeatedly call the REST API until either all data sources are retrieved or the limit argument has been reached. The pageSize argument will determine how many data sources to return in each call. You may want to provide a larger value if you know in advance that you have more than 100 data sources to retrieve.

Example: 1000

limit​

The maximum number of data sources to return. The tool will return at most this many data sources.

Example: 2000
