Requirements
The requirements for the Tableau JavaScript API are as follows:
Access to a Tableau server: To program with the Tableau JavaScript API you need to have access to Tableau Server, Tableau Cloud, or Tableau Public, and a published workbook on that server. Your web application shouldn’t be on the same computer as the server, but it needs to be able to access the server. For information about the API and accessing it, see Concepts.
A supported browser: Your end-users can experience the web application you create in most web browsers supported by Tableau Server(Link opens in a new window) and Tableau Cloud(Link opens in a new window).
