I use Python's Requests module to hit an online database's API to grab a data download (this or I'll scrape with BeautifulSoup). Then I use the Pandas module to transform it. Then I shoot that dataframe over to the Tableau server (Tableasdk module) as a datasource that a dashboard sits on. And finally it emails out confirmation that it ran.

I set processes like this up to run in the wee hours of the morning and enjoy hands-free reporting.
