Hi @malyastya

If you are working with Qlik Sense Enterprise on-prem the documentation is here:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/February2024/Content/Sense_Helpsites/Build-create-explore.htm

By any chance could you share what is what you are trying to accomplish ? There are different APIs for different services/purposes. We can provide some documentation if we get some details about something more specific that you are trying to accomplish.

Kind Regards.

Hi @malyastya

You wont be able to get the Bearer toke for Qlik Sense on prem, the documentation you are looking at is for Qlik Cloud, you probably are using Qlik Sense Enterprise.

Perhaps this is what you are looking for ?
