Tableau Who has seen this view data automation

Question

I have a duty that requires me to extract data from "Who has viewed this view" from different dashboards every week in order to compile a weekly activity report.

I'm trying to figure out a method to automate this using Python so that I don't have to do it manually every week, but I can't find a way to do it without becoming the organization's administrator (not, I own the dashboards).

My first thinking was to utilise a web scraper, but I'm having trouble with the firms' Okta SSO as well.

Is there a way for me to get this data using my open browser (or anything that already has my SSO credentials) and then download it as a CSV? I hope this makes sense, and I appreciate any assistance you may provide.

Will you be able to query the postgres database that contains all of this data? Seems a lot easier than scraping. Read this if the server admin will give you access to the database: https://tarsolutions.co.uk/blog/using-tableaus-database-build-tableau-server-usage-reports/
