Take a look at the Tableau Javascript API...specifically the getData method.

The Rest API is used for automating Tableau Server tasks (add users, create schedules, set permissions, etc).

You can embed a hidden extension into your dashboard that can access worksheet, field and filter information. See the docs on extensions here.

Here is a good example of one that could get you started on pulling the worksheet and field information.
