   I'm not aware of anything in the API that would allow you to do this and don't expect there to be as I don't believe you're able to explore combined site content in the web UI either.

   I think you'll want to loop over a collection of TableauAuth credentials providing a login to each site and run your workbook get function against each site. For example, you'd use something like the following:

   import tableauserverclient as tsc
   
   # server admin creds
   host="tableaudomain.com"
   user="username"
   pwrd="password"
   
   tableau = tsc.Server(host, use_server_version=True)
   auth = tsc.TableauAuth(user,pwrd)
   
   site_auths = []
   with tableau.auth.sign_in(auth):
       site_auths.extend(
           tsc.TableauAuth(user, pwrd, site.id) 
           for site in tsc.Pager(tableau.sites))
   
   workbooks=[]
   for site_auth in site_auths:
       with tableau.auth.sign_in(site_auth):
           workbooks.extend(tsc.Pager(tableau.workbooks))
   
   print(workbooks)

   If you're open to not using this API - and have access to it - you could just dump it out from the workgroup database.

   Starting with #655 you can use a baked in site switch rather than creating separate auth objects.

   This isn't on the roadmap.
