Summary
I would like to allow the use of an existing authorized session with Tableau to prevent additional API requests to sign in.
Request Type
Type 3
Description
This is a very small change that does not modify behavior, but extends it. I have a workflow that performs thousands of API requests due to so many sites, projects and data sources. I would like to sign in one time and pass authorization information from one application to another. Being able to use the same session would reduce interaction with the Tableau API Gateway dramatically, preventing it from overthrown.
This is as simple as adding an option to use an existing, authorized session with the Server constructor.
