Has anyone had success using R as a connector between APIs and the WDC? If so, would you be willing to share your script or help me develop one? I have a variety of data feeds that are moving from extracts to APIs and need to minimize the gap in reporting from the conversion. Alternatively, has anyone used R to read API data into a csv file or SQL database table? Either option would be helpful.

Hello Michelle
R can read from an API and write to CSV independent of Tableau. This appears to be a fileio thing and not statistics related so I don't understand the use case.
The WDC is written in Javascript and does not utilize R.
null has a post about using Python to access Twitter, writing out to CSV and then appending data to an extract on Tableau Server (all of this is not R related). Thsi might be helpful though:
I hope that helps you out.
