Connecting to QlikSense Python API

Ju1 — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 15:41:55 GMT

Hello,

I’m trying to connect Python to QlikSense in order to perform the same operations as the Qlik engine API explorer, but when I try this code:

import websocket import ssl import json import requests user_directory = <user_directory> user_id = <user_id > header = ['X-Qlik-User: UserDirectory=' + user_directory + '; UserId=' + user_id] ws = websocket.create_connection("wss://<myserver>/app/", sslopt={"cert_reqs": ssl.CERT_NONE},header=header) ws.send(json.dumps({ "handle": -1, "method": "GetDocList", "params": [], "outKey": -1, "id": 1 })) result = ws.recv() print(result) ws.close()

It returns this to me:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"OnAuthenticationInformation","params":{"loginUri":"https://<myserver>/internal_forms_authentication/?targetId=<ID>","mustAuthenticate":true}}

How can it return the result of my query ?

Thanks !

In the message it returned, the property "mustAuthenticate" is set to "true" indicates that you have not yet been correctly authenticated.
