The Tableau CRM REST API is based on the Connect REST API and follows its conventions. For more information about the Connect REST API, see the Connect REST API Developer Guide.

The internal API, that was previously used in the Tableau CRM user interface, also labeled as private and for Salesforce only, is not supported. This internal API is deprecated, as first noted in API version 36. Clients using this internal private API can’t access any newly created or updated dashboard assets created using tools in the latest release. We encourage developers of such clients to port them to the Tableau CRM API GA.
