Hi @peanut89 

Here we had a similar situation, we used one of these two first approachs (the third one we did not try yet), deppending on the possibility:

1)The right and easiest way to do that is to connect Alteryx to the same data source that tableau is connected with.

2)The workaround for situations where it was impossible to connect to the data source was to use an RPA software to mimic a user going to the tableau server page and downloading the report to a network shared driver. 

3)The last option that i know about is to develop an Alteryx Workflow to connect with the Tableau API and download the data source, this is a cool option too that i did not try yet, i dont know if someone already did this and uploaded the workflow somewhere. This is a more technical path to go on. Data Sources Methods - Tableau

I am curious to know if someone here knows a different approach to this problem.

As @Felipe_Ribeir0  suggests ... 

... and remember you can use the Input Data tool to connect to a .hyper file  ( ...but not .tde)

It looks like a feature request was made a few years ago. See request (Macro to Open Hyper files directly from Tableau Server) 

Can you even open a .TDSX file in Alteryx?  I can't seem to get the Input Data tool to read it.
