Import.io + Tableau

Web data in Tableau

Two paths. For fast workbooks, feed a Google Sheet from Import.io Data Extraction and connect Tableau to it. For production, Import.io delivers into Snowflake or BigQuery and Tableau connects natively.

How it connects.

Source

The web

Any public page, rendered, through managed proxies

Engine

Import.io

Rendering, proxy routing, captcha handling, extraction

Path

Data endpoint

Latest successful run, CSV or JSON

Destination

Tableau

Web data in Tableau through Google Sheets or your warehouse.

Also connects via managed delivery.

What teams do with it.

Market maps and price ladders

Visualize every competitor’s price by product and retailer.

Trend analysis

Stack daily runs into a time series and chart what moved.

Ready-made datasets

Start from Import.io’s public datasets before you build your own feed.

Set it up.

  1. Quick path: put the extractor’s Google Sheets formula in a sheet, then connect Tableau with the Google Sheets connector.
  2. Production path: have the feed delivered into Snowflake or BigQuery and connect Tableau to that table.
  3. Schedule extract refreshes to match the extractor’s schedule.

Questions.

Is there a Tableau guide?

Yes. The Import.io + Tableau guide walks through using Import.io data and datasets in Tableau.

Do endpoint downloads count as queries?

No. The latest-run CSV, JSON and Google Sheets endpoints return data your extractor already collected, so they don’t count toward your plan. Only the Live Query API runs an extraction per request.

How fresh is the data?

As fresh as your schedule. Run the extractor hourly, daily or weekly and the endpoint always serves the latest successful run.

Who sets up managed delivery?

Your Managed Services team. They agree destination, format, schedule and schema with you, then build, run, monitor and QA the feed under an SLA.

Which destinations can Managed Services deliver into?

Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, SFTP, Snowflake, BigQuery, API, email and Slack alerts. Aperture delivers into the same destinations.
