@Kevinoh47 The Tableau url is https://public.tableau.com/views/MASS-DSerologyStudy/SeroprevalenceDashboardRegion4 . You can find it using the network tabs in Chrome development console

from tableauscraper import TableauScraper as TS

url = "https://public.tableau.com/views/MASS-DSerologyStudy/SeroprevalenceDashboardRegion4"
ts = TS()
ts.loads(url)

print(ts.getWorkbook().getWorksheetNames())
