How can i use a API-token to connect to an external API

FrankGrimm — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 08:33:50 GMT

Hello together,

i would like to use the Raw API Request with an Bearer Token.

The Postman Code is

curl --location --request GET 'https://app.yyyxxx.com/api/v1/items' \

--header 'Authorization: Bearer qwreqerXhhOTKp8S0KOqeWK9VAm-Ys'

How can i transfere this call to the Qlik Cloud Service "Raw API Request"?

Thanks.

Use the CALL URL block where you can specify a header parameter - Raw API Request only works towards qlik cloud services api.

If your URL IS a cloud service url you do not need to specify the header parameter.

I am trying to set up a CALL URL block to retrieve a token via POST, to use this in a chain of posts and eventually a get to retrieve and save a .csv

In POSTman i easily get it to work.

In a script editor via a rest connection i can get it to work up to the point of collecting the resulting url for the csv, but obviously can't download or save it that way.

And unfortunately i cannot find any post on this specific problem/route i have to take.

Thanks
