Summary
The ServerInfo API call should return information about whether or not I am connecting to a Server or Cloud instance.
Request Type
Type 3: new functionality
Requests for totally new functionality will generally be passed to the relevant dev team, but we probably can't give any useful estimate of how or when it might be implemented. If it is a feature that is 'about' the API or programmable access, here might be the best place to suggest it, but generally feature requests will be more visible in the Tableau Community Ideas forum and should go there instead.
Description
Because some endpoints, payloads, and responses differ between Server and Cloud, the ServerInfo endpoint should also respond with information about which the session is connected to, so that methods can be appropriately enabled or disabled, and request payloads constructed that fit the system being connected to.
