REST API error.

Shaglok — Mon, 26 Dec 2022 14:46:05 GMT

Hi.

I am facing issues trying to connect my Qlik app to an API to fecth some information. The API is very simple and it doen't even have authentication.

The API URL works perfectly on Postman, browsers and even PowerBI, but when I add it as new connection on Qlik I have a connection error.

Did anyone faced and solved something similar?

Hello Shaglok,

We need more details in regard to this error, what is the api in question, connection details etc.

What is the error that you are getting?

Best Regards

Hi.

It's an internal API from my company, can't paste the address. But it works perfectly in other apps, as I said.

The error I get is "Can't connect to the destination", although the destination gives the information perfectly. I don't know if Qlik uses another type of connectivity, certificate or simply it's a bug, but it is very weird.

Hi Shaglok,

My only advise on this is to maybe open a case to support for this issue, this needs to be looked at, in a more in-depth way.

Best Regards
