Qlik sense integration to Iframe

alseanna — Thu, 15 Aug 2019 06:06:57 GMT

Hi ,

I am trying to integrate Qlik sense to Iframe to build a product for my client. I am unable find any API which can be used to create reports, upload data and save the report.

Can you please let me know where can i find the REST API which could be used to achieve the process.

In the later versions of Qlik Sense embedding objects in a iframe is quite east. Just right click on the object and choose the embed option and follow the wizard.

If you are trying to create static reports then you could take a look at the Qlik NPrinting capabilities. NPrinting has it own api. https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/June2019/APIs/NP+API/index.html?page=0

For adding data you should take a look at the engine API.

Thanks Vegar!!

I would need to create reports dynamically (user given the access to create report/chart based on his need)on the Qlik sense using the server located on our client GCP.

Data to be uploaded is also stored in GCP . Can we achieve this using API? or is there any other approach we need to use.

Could you let me know if i can mimic this in my application using qlik sense desktop on my local desktop

1. You could grant your users to create their own application and allow them to add data though the add data interface in Qlik Sense? It won't be very governed approach, but very flexible.

2. You could provide a set of naked applications containing a premade data model and a set of dimensions and measures that the end user can use to create their own reports and charts. This is a much more governed approach, but not as flexible regarding which data is to be used.

3. If you want to automticly create application on the fly based on user properties/selection you could dig into the Qlik vizualisation API. You could start here: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/June2019/Subsystems/Mashups/Content/Sense_Mashups/Create/create-apps-on-the-fly.htm and https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/June2019/Subsystems/Mashups/Content/Sense_Mashups/Create/create-visualizations-on-the-fly.htm This i a more developer intensive apporach, but you could provide custom insights to your end users.

Good luck

If you want to upload data to GCP assume you should look at the APIs provided by Google Cloud.

As long your users are able to authenticate against the Qlik Cloud service you should be able to use the iFrame objects.
