Connect Non Public files from QlikSense to AWS S3 bucket using REST API

Anonymous — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 22:09:04 GMT

Dear Friends,

We have private csv file in AWS S3 bucket and I am trying to connect the file through QlikSense Rest API. I can successfully connect the public file but it getting failed to connect private file.

Below error when trying to connect private csv file:

"HTTP protocol error 403 (Forbidden): The server refused to fulfill the request."

Can anyone help me out with possible ways, I can connect private csv file in AWS S3 bucket.

Thanks

Pratul

It is much simpler to use the Qlik Web Connector for Amazon S3. With the Qlik REST Connector you will have to implement the authentication part of the S3 interaction yourself - quite complicated.

Here you can find more information about the Qlik Web Connector for Amazon S3:

Thanks for your response Petter. but Qlik Web Connector only connects public files in S3, is there any way to connect Private file via Qlik Web connector?
