Tableau Server REST API to check if view exists

0

Is there any way to check if a view exists in the site based on its share URL ?

(Tableau Server Version 10.3, Tableau Server REST API version 2.6)

Input: (share URL of a view)

http://my-tableau-server/views/my-workbook-name/my-view-name?:embed=y&:showAppBanner=false&:showShareOptions=true&:display_count=no&:showVizHome=no

Output: Boolean flag indicating whether the view represented by this share URL exists in a site or not.

I found one option to Query Views for Site where filtering on views is applicable only on the following fields and not on the contentUrl field:

  • name
  • createdAt
  • hitsTotal
  • ownerName
  • tags
  • updatedAt

I do not want to get all the views of a site and filter in my dot net code. Please suggest if there is any other option available.

Thanks!

From my understanding of the Tableau API, there are only two endpoints that allow all views of Sites or a Workbook. Both endpoints don't let you search for a specific view.

The only ways to accomplish what you are trying to do is to filter via the .Net code.
