I need to connect Tableau to a file found online at a MoveIT site. The site requires user log in and password. This is my first foray into pulling a file from online, so please bear with me and use small words 😉 .
Do I need a web connector for this or can it be handled with other means? If a web connector is needed, can you make an educated guess which I will need-- or do I need to build it (something I've never done)?
Are there other eccentricities I might need to know about, or details our Tableau experts need to make an educated guess? Thank you in advance!
If you know it's csv, then writing a web data connector might be reasonable. There are good libraries for reading CSVs in Javascript (e.g. Papaparse). The other big hurdle is detecting the schema of the file, but if it's just a couple of files you might be able to hard code that or find some shortcuts that work well with your files.
