Qliksense API call from Postman

ktalreja — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 15:06:47 GMT

Hi All,

I have a usecase where I want to download sheet data directly from the Qliksense API call rather than navigating through the front end application. The Qliksense application access for my organisation is certificate click based, with ldap configuration.

I used the App URL as the end point url for the API call and added the certificate and key to the Postman application and called a GET request but in response I am getting the output in HTML format which contains the title of the UI certificate that we used for manual login instead of Json. I also tried adding additional parameters like "Xrfkey" & "X-Qlik-User" but I am still getting the same issue.

Could someone please help me with this problem?

Thank you

Hi Ktalreja,

Qlik expose REST API call to manage the platform (all the actions you can perform from the QMC) whereas you must use the Javascript API when interacting with the application data, this is because the data may be profiled base on the user access.

hope this help
