Connexion between python and Qlik Sense

[#1]

Hello,

I would like to load data QlikSense a server application via a Python application. I saw in the documentation that we can do it via websocket, and I cannot perform this operation.

below the python source code

import websocket

import json

1. websocket.create_connection = socket ('ws: // [ma_machine]:4747')
2. json.dumps data = ({'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'id': 3, 'method', 'DoReload', 'handle': 1, 'params': {'qMode': 0, 'qPartial': false, 'qDebug'. false}}) encode ('utf-8')
3. socket.send (data)

Thanking you in advance.

Hi, this is a sample Python script which uses websocket-client package.

Note: I'm using Python 3.5.1

    #print("### open ###")

    global current_id

    current_id += 1
