🏷️ API updates
We recently released a new feature to get GUID of schema, table or column when a full path is provided in the API call.
Example request -
GET https://api.production.getselectstar.com/v1/tables/?page=1&page_size=1&search_name=Snowflake.NewAdventureWorks.Person.Address&query={guid}&order=-popularity

In the example -
Snowflake.NewAdventureWorks.Person.Address is
{Select Star Data Source Name}.{Database}.{Schema}.{Table}
You can also use the columns endpoints to get the GUID for a specific column.

You can still view the embedded Tableau Datasources by checking the checkbox on the right.
  • Display Downstream Dashboards for Tableau Datasources
You can now quickly see all the Tableau Workbooks utilizing a specific Tableau Datasource (for both Published and Embedded).

  • View SQL for Custom SQL based Datasource
With this update, you no longer need to manually edit the workbook to view the SQL. We have improved the process of accessing the SQL that powers Custom SQL-based Tableau Datasources, making it more convenient for you.
