API call from Extension (AJAX, NODE.JS)

Hi,

I want to make a new Extension which will use the api to do something. For example "reload app". I want it with full rights, because with a "normal" reload button, our users also need access rights for the data sources.

So I tried a ajax solution, like this example: https://support.qlik.com/articles/000029463 . First on my local mashine, for testing. But i get an error 401 (Authentication header expected). The virtual proxy is reachable. I can connect to it with chrome.

I also tried a nodejs solution, like this: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/May2021/Subsystems/RepositoryServiceAPI/Content/Sense_RepositoryServiceAPI/RepositoryServiceAPI-Example-Connect-Nodejs.htm . It works from my local mashine. But to use it as a Qlik Sense Extension, I need somehow the packages https and fs. Any ideas?

Or is there a better way?

Thanks a lot
