Qlik Cloud - How to filter on the endpoint GET /apps ?

Gokryzex — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 21:46:28 GMT

The endpoint GET /v1/apps is not specified in the documentation, but it does work.

I'd like to filter on app names but I can't. I find it curious that this isn't possible

I've tried all sorts of things but to no avail.

filter=name eq "my_app"
filter=attributes[name] eq "my_app"
filter=attributes.name eq "my_app"
etc.

Thanks in advance

Hi, @Gokryzex

Using With Connection you can set the parameters, like this very basic example. See the qlik hlep documentation about the connection

let vAppID = 4e56…..

RestConnectorTable:
SQL SELECTION
Key…
(select
…..)
FROM JSON
WITH CONNECTION (
URL "https://...../api/v1/apps/$(vAppID)/...");

Are you trying to get a list of apps? I think the documented way with filtering is the items api https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/items/

Thanks @rwunderlich

It is possible to use /items like this
https://....qlikcloud.com/api/v1/items?name=my_app&spaceId=XXXXXXX&resourceType=app
but it's not at all satisfactory because name makes a search filter, so in this case I'll get all the apps with the sub-string "my_app", which means I'll have to filter again on my side.

In fact, what I find weird with /apps is that this kind of query returns a 400 error (unfortunately without body 😕 ) so I suppose filter is usable but I don't know how
https://.....qlikcloud.com/api/v1/apps/?filter=attributes[name] eq "my_app"
