Qlik Data Gateway and rest connector

oodimkooo — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 22:43:16 GMT

Hello! I'm new to Qlik Cloud, trying to use our company's local API in application by creating a GET request over Rest connector and getting timeout errors again and again.

We have QLik Data Gateway installed and configured, does rest connector support it? It seems that there is no definitely "no" in docs...

Hi @oodimkooo Qlik Data Gateway cannot work with local API via REST connection.

As Vinay said a REST connector is not on Qlik Data Gateway Direct Access, you might want to use our Ideation platform to request this enhancement if is not yet there.

also, is this product gap (REST connection on data gateway) documented anywhere officially? is this working in SAAS and / or Qlik Cloud Government yet?

many users do not have access to the ideas page, will this be documented somewhere on the community or in product documents when it is available?

Fantastic news @Albert_Candelario, thank you for sharing!

Re: Qlik Data Gateway and rest connector

Ken_T — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 16:13:07 GMT

@Albert_Candelario thank you! hopefully this will be in Qlik Cloud Government in a few/couple weeks... can you post when that is released in QCG as well?

Re: Qlik Data Gateway and rest connector

Albert_Candelario — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 10:36:35 GMT

Hello @Ken_T ,

It should be on Qlik Cloud Government already.

Cheers,

Albert

thanks @Albert_Candelario it is not yet in QCG, I checked this morning 2/17/2025. We are hoping it shows up in next week or so, QCG is usually a bit behind commercial for new stuff.

the what's new page does not have the usual "Not supported in Qlik Cloud Government." message for this ... New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.1) > Rest connector item, but that is a common issue on that page - the QCG features are often not accurately documented there. We hope the REST (via Direct Access gateway), shows up in QCG soon.

Thanks @Ken_T , let me check with the Qlik teams as it was mentioned would be available at the same time as our US region:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Introduction/saas-change-log.htm#:~:text=Phase%203%3A%20US%20(United%20States)%20and%20Qlik%20Cloud%20Government

I keep you posted!

Ken_T — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 13:31:37 GMT

not there yet @Albert_Candelario 2/19/2025
I am assuming it will show up as
REST (via Direct Access gateway)

Re: Qlik Data Gateway and rest connector

Albert_Candelario — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 06:01:20 GMT

Correct, like:

Let me check within the teams again, I appreciate your prompt response.

Cheers,

Albert

Re: Qlik Data Gateway and rest connector

Albert_Candelario — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 14:51:52 GMT

@Ken_T, the internal team confirmed it should have been delivered as per what they have seen on their tenant, if you still do not see it, I would suggest to raise a case with our Support team to further check this topic.

Cheers,

Albert
