Qlik SAAS API Error

mstoler — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 13:43:47 GMT

Hello,

I am using the Qlik SAAS API.

When i attempt to reload a dashboard, the error below is returned.

{"traceId":"67d14d4c1cd2410595748ce67ac04c88","errors":[{"code":"RELOADS-001","title":"Invalid request."}]}

This is what I am using

curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/reloads" \
-X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>" \
-H "Content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"appId":"116dbfae-7fb9-4983-8e23-5ccd8c508722","partial":true}'

Hello @mstoler

The syntax looks correct as per the help site https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/reloads#%23%2Fentries%2Freloads-post

When I check in the Qlik Sense SaaS backend logs based on your traceId, it complains about the backslash

{"caller":"middleware.go:265","error":"invalid character '\\'' looking for beginning of value","level":"error","message":"could not unmarshal reload request JSON","timestamp":"2021-08-06T13:41:43.325917317Z","traceId":"67d14d4c1cd2410595748ce67ac04c88"}

Could you try to remove all the backslashes and just have a one line cURL request and see if that makes any difference ?

Hello,

I just did a bunch of requests today using the syntax below but using one line on Sat 8/14.

Please let me know what you see. I would like to get this working.

Thanks,

Michael

curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/reloads" \
 -X POST \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>" \
 -H "Content-type: application/json" \
 -d '{"appId":"116dbfae-7fb9-4983-8e23-5ccd8c508722","partial":true}'

Hello @mstoler

It's still showing the same error

{ error: invalid character '\'' looking for beginning of value level: error message: could not unmarshal reload request JSON timestamp: 2021-08-14T17:49:37.109386048Z traceId: 9c5601c7be832b5ec41eb2f5527a8bdd }

Did you make sure to remove all the backslashes when you did the request as a one line request ?

curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/reloads" -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>" -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '{"appId":"116dbfae-7fb9-4983-8e23-5ccd8c508722","partial":true}'

Also could you as well try the same in PowerShell and see if that's also the same issue ?
https://community.qlik.com/t5/Knowledge/How-to-Generate-API-Keys-in-Qlik-Sense-SaaS-using-APIs/ta-p/1798718

Something like:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 $body='{"appId":"116dbfae-7fb9-4983-8e23-5ccd8c508722","partial":true}' $hdrs = @{} $hdrs.Add("Authorization","Bearer eyJhbGciOiJFUzM4NCIsImtp...NOofkzjW3R1fc4h") $hdrs.Add("content-type","application/json") $url = "https://yourtenant.eu.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/reloads" Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Post -Headers $hdrs -Body $body

Hello,

I did try both.

I think what might help is if there is a working example using curl that shows me the exact syntax.

Where the documentation indicates

Authorization: Bearer <API-key>"

Do we actually use the angle brackets? I am not.

"Authorization: Bearer xxxxxx"

Is it possible to just show a working example without the confidential information?

Thanks,

Michale

Hi Michale,

Just out of curiosity, are you using curl on windows or Mac? On windows the escape character is ^ and not \. Maybe that's the issue?

Angle brackets should not be included so you're right on the bearer format, like

"Authorization: Bearer xxxxxx"

Best

Hello,

I am just using a single line on Windows.

Do you have a working example of how to reload a Dashboard (take out the sensitive part)?

Thanks,

Mchael

And you also updated:

tenant name
region
API-key (JWT)
AppId

This seems to be an artifact of curl for Windows on my end. This is working for me:

curl "https://<tenant>.<region>.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/reloads" -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer <myApiKey>" -H "Content-type: application/json" -d "{\"appId\":\"<myAppId\"}"

Single quotes (') around the body and not escaping the double quotes in the body isn't needed on curl launched via the Linux Subsystem for Windows install I have.
