GitHub Connector reading only public repos

arkham — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 15:06:29 GMT

Hi there,

posted this already in the Integration, Extension and APIs forum, but got the recommendation to post it here as well as it could be a better fit:

In my company we use Qlik Enterprise and want to connect to a repo within GitHub to fetch some data into Qlik. There is a GitHub connector present I can select and authenticate with. While trying it out and trying to start having a look at all the repos within the company account in GitHub, I realized I can't see any of them. Currently all repos are set to private. I then created a new repo in Qlik, set it to public and had a loo into the connector again: the test repo showed up.

As we won't set any of our repos to public, is there any way to read in from private ones? Or does anyone know if there are any limitations to the connector to only show public repos? There seem to be no options in the connector to make any adjustments to this...

Update: we found the solution after checking with a colleague who never tried setting up the connection: Apparently there is another step that didn't show anymore while I tried setting it up, but it did show for my colleague. This step involved a request to Qlik to authenticate. In GitHub we then have seen the request, accepted it, and everything worked out in the end.

Hey @arkham where did you see that request in github? We are running into the same issue.
