API GET connection with BODY

dbernal — Thu, 03 Oct 2024 20:14:56 GMT

Hi @QFabian, I have this issue: I need to connect with an API that use GET as a parameter but also use a BODY. Qlik, as you must know, the REST connector use POST with BODY, but the body field disappear with GET parameter.

Is there any possibility that use the API with a GET parameter?

Thanks in advance.

Claro, revisa si aplica para tu caso usar WITH CONNECTION en el FROM de la query, que permite cambiar los parámetros de la consulta en el script, revisa algunos casos de la comunidad :
