Can we write a Custom REST connector in QlikCloud (i.e. Qlik SaaS)

avastani — Fri, 18 Mar 2022 16:17:07 GMT

I would like to connect to cloud sources in Qlik Cloud but there's no native connector and the REST api connector will not work for it. I have a QVX I wrote before for QSEfW but need to migrate or convert it for SaaS

Might anyone have done this before?

Hello @avastani ,

Qlik cloud does not support custom connectors, so It's very likely that it won't work.

As an alternative, I would suggest you using the ODATA connector since it complements the rest connector.

Best regards,

Francisco

Hi @Francisco_Fernandez ,

ODATA is for QSEfW, is that accurate?
