NOTE: Web Data Connector 3.0 is the latest version of Tableau's web data connector framework. If you are looking for the prior version(s), which are set to be deprecated, you can find information here: https://tableau.github.io/webdataconnector/
This project captures links to documentation, tools, and other resources to help you build web data connectors to connect to web application data from Tableau. Unlike prior versions of Web Data Connector, WDC 3.0 allows you to build packaged connectors (i.e. .taco files similar to the Tableau Connector SDK for ODBC/JDBC data sources) that do not require web hosting and appear as named connectors in Tableau products.
Official documentation for WDC 3.0 can be found here
The TACO Toolkit is a set of tools that helps simplify Tableau web data connector development. It contains a command-line interface (CLI) to create and publish Tableau web data connectors and a SDK that enables you to develop your connectors efficiently. It can be installed from npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tableau/taco-toolkit
There are some version constraints between TACO Toolkit, WDC 3.0 connectors built with TACO Toolkit, and Tableau Products that must be taken into consideration. For details, please see the documentation here
The WDC 3.0 CLI (taco-toolkit), SDK, and documentation are supported by Tableau. If anything is unclear or appears to be a defect please submit a GitHub Issue in this project or reach out via the DataDev community.
