How to get user-based view counts with Python Rest API

@Serkan Arslan​ 

Hi, in this case you may use Tableau Server Client:

import tableauserverclient as TSC
import csv
 
# server admin creds
HOST = "https://prod-useast-b.online.tableau.com/"
TOKEN_NAME = "Test"
TOKEN_VALUE = "cjcvCg==:45pE9"
CONTENT_URL = "yoursite"
 
tableau_auth = TSC.PersonalAccessTokenAuth(TOKEN_NAME, TOKEN_VALUE, site_id=CONTENT_URL)
server = TSC.Server(HOST, use_server_version=True)
 
 
#Create the csv file and open it in write mode
f = open('views.csv', 'w', encoding='UTF8', newline='')
 
#delimiter with semicolon if need change to comma, and write header
writer = csv.writer(f, delimiter=";")
header = ['content URL','name','Owner_id','total_views']
writer.writerow(header)
 
today_date = datetime.now(timezone.utc)
 
with server.auth.sign_in(tableau_auth):
    for view in TSC.Pager(server.views,usage=True):
        row=[view.content_url,view.name,view.owner_id,view.total_views]
        #print(view.conten_url,view.name,view.owner_id,view.total_views)
        #write the row
        writer.writerow(row)
#Close file connection and sign out
f.close()
server.auth.sign_out()

To use this code, you will need a PAT:
