Download an existing app, identified by {appId}, using an {exportTicketId}.

How do I reference the ticket ID returned in call 1 of 2 in the next line?

Call 1: /qrs/app/{id}/export

Returns: GUID (that is, an export ticket)

Call 2: /qrs/download/app/{appId}/{exportTicketId}/{fileName}

Sorry new to powershell and this has got me stumped, done some searching on using the returned GUID but i'm more confused... 😄

Hi Adam,

Maybe the script provided as the solution here may get you in the right direction: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Integration-Extension-APIs/QRS-Export-App-without-data/td-p/128474

$hdrs = @{} $hdrs.Add("X-Qlik-Xrfkey","examplexrfkey123") $hdrs.Add("X-Qlik-User", "UserDirectory=INTERNAL; UserId=sa_api") $cert = Get-ChildItem -Path "Cert:\CurrentUser\My" | Where {$_.Subject -like '*QlikClient*'} $body = '{}' $Data = Get-Content C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Host.cfg $FQDN = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString([System.Convert]::FromBase64String($($Data))) [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Ssl3,Tls,Tls11,Tls12' $guid = [guid]::NewGuid() $download = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://$($FQDN):4242/qrs/App/c9fadcd3-20f5-434b-a0f8-a73e46943294/export/$($guid)?xrfkey=examplexrf..." -Method Post -Body $body -Headers $hdrs -ContentType 'application/json' -Certificate $cert Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://$($FQDN):4242$($download.downloadPath)" -Method Get -Headers $hdrs -ContentType 'application/json' -Certificate $cert | Set-Content small.qvf -Encoding Ascii

Also, the API Endpoint you are currently using is not the suggested method for exporting apps. See these resources:
