curl commands with Qlik SAAS`

mstoler — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 08:23:44 GMT

Hello,

Has anyone been successful in getting the qlik saas api to work using curl.

I am using this command:

curl  -L -H 'authorization: bearer <your-api-key>' \
  https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/items?limit=2&resourceType=app

But get the error 401 authorization required.

Thanks,

Michael

Is this still an issue ? Looking in our logs, it looks you were able to authenticate.

Hello,

Yes still an issue.

I just submitted some curl commands today. Please let me know what you see.

Thank You,

I am finding success with:

curl -L -H 'Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>' \ https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/items

on my Linux Subsystem for Windows install and success with

curl -L -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>" \ https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/items

with my curl for Windows (https://curl.se/windows/) launched through cmd.exe install.

I suspect your problem is casing. Authorization vs. authorization and Bearer vs. bearer.
