I'm trying to export view as csv from tableau online using below URL, but while generating csv it's only returning html.

this is the URL: https://10az.online.tableau.com/#/site/xxx/views/xxx/AccountAdvertisersList.csv

the same above URL is working directly with browser and giving right required data in csv form.

here is the command:

tabcmd get "https://10az.online.tableau.com/#/site/xxx/views/xxx/AccountAdvertisersList.csv" -f "acc.csv"

According the docs, a csv is only downloaded from views. You are passing in the entire workbook url. Try adjusting per their example. 

tabcmd get "/views/Finance/InvestmentGrowth.csv"

You can export to CSV via the following,

tabcmd export "xxx/AccountAdvertisersList" --csv -f "acc.csv"
