[TYPE 3] - Add "max_filesize" parameter to a workbook's download method #1500
Yes exactly - "only download the file if it's less than X units." I had megabytes in mind but open to whatever makes the most sense
This is because the size of workbook files can vary greatly, and I've seen them range from a couple kilobytes to a couple gigabytes. It would put a strain on our server's resources to download too large of files
Workbooks and datasources have a size attribute. Why can the user not just write their own if statement to check that prior to attempting the download?

So you want the user to be able to set a maximum size, and if the workbook size exceeds this user defined value, don't download?

There's a problem with tableau's rest api, where the "Get Workbook" endpoint returns a constant
1for all workbooks. Is this happening just for us?NFeruchBCG commentedon Oct 15, 2024
Actually sorry, only for some workbooks - maybe workbooks less than 1 mb are being rounded up to 1?
I haven't had much time to troubleshoot this problem specifically, sorry for the lack of information

Can you try checking how many you have of each?
