Add a new data source in Tableau
To use the connector from Tableau Desktop or Tableau Public v.10+, select the Web Data Connector option under Connect > To a Server within your Tableau application.
In the window that opens, we're going to enter the web data connector URL.
The URL you enter here will depend on what type of import you would like to make. You have two options:
Import all tables from a dataset or project
Import a single table, file, or query result
Import an entire dataset
Enter tableau.data.world as the Web Data Connector URL.
Press Enter
Login with your data.world credentials if prompted
Enter the data.world dataset URL or click Browse to scroll through your datasets or search the data.world community (note that searches results are limited to 30 in the Web Data Connector)
Click Select next to the dataset you'd like to import
Click Connect to confirm you selection
Depending on the size of the dataset, this import can take from a few seconds to a few minutes
Import a single file, table, or query result
Go to data.world and navigate to the file or query you would like to open in Tableau. To the right of the Download link, click Open with Tableau (note: if you have multiple integrations enabled, you may have to click the dropdown menu here to choose Tableau)
Copy the URL from the new window that opens:

Returning to Tableau, paste the connector URL into the input box. Note that when you enter the URL, the input box disappears and moves to the URL field so you'll just need to hit Enter on your keyboard to load the next page.
By using the connector URL from the Open with Tableau window, the data.world web data connector will be pre-populated with your dataset URL or query details:

If you'd like to bring in another dataset, you can go to Data > New Data Source and repeat the steps above.
