# Get Data
**Important changes for the Tableau JavaScript API**
As of February 2024, the Tableau JavaScript API is deprecated. Use the Embedding API v3 instead for embedding interactive views into web pages and applications. For guidance on embedding Tableau views, see the [Tableau Embedding API v3 Help](https://help.tableau.com/current/api/embedding_api/en-us/index.html).
Get the underlying data for the currently active sheet.
To download data for a workbook, your Tableau Server user account must have the Download Summary Data and Download Full Data permissions.
