Data Cloud and Tableau Hyper API

Data Cloud SQL supports the Data Cloud Query API and the Tableau Hyper API. This reference guide describes Data Cloud SQL and how it applies to both APIs.

Use Data Cloud SQL to query data in Data Cloud, answer analytical questions, or derive insights from your data.

Data Cloud SQL works with these resources.

• Integrated apps such as Query Editor, DBeaver, or Tableau
• Custom apps built with language-specific libraries on Data Cloud

For more information, see How Do I Query Data in Data Cloud? and Data Cloud SQL Query APIs.

Use Tableau Hyper API to access data in Tableau for analytics and data transformations.

Tableau Hyper API uses Data Cloud SQL to complete these tasks.

• Make data in unsupported data sources accessible to Tableau.
• Automate custom extract, transform, and load (ETL) processes.
• Implement rolling window updates or custom incremental updates.

For more information, see the Tableau Hyper API documentation.
