Export to image API?

Anonymous — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:23:41 GMT

Hi !

In Qlik Sense 2.1.1 you can rightclick on a chart and export to image (and also PDF). Which API can I use to be able to do this? I have searched in the Qlik Sense API-explorer in developer-hub but I can not find it. I have also tried to search then developer help but I have not found an API that I can use.

Best regards

Peter

Hi Peter,

The way I've done it is just turn a dom element into a blob, then manage it from there. If you're comfortable with javascript, you may be able to make use of this for your needs.

Will it work with extensions not using canvas?

Hello,

I'm using Qlik Sense API (Engine API) and I'm trying to get a chart, but in image format. I didn't find some method to do this. Could you help me?

Best Regards,

Julyano

Reviving this again. Surely someone has done this by now? I'm also looking for a solution to this if anyone has it available? I'm using C# Qliksense .Net SDK and Qliksense Web API.

The printing APIs for the client managed solution are not public. This still holds:

Only way to do this is to try to reverse engineer what the client is doing.
