Img Export server-side

schmidtj — Fri, 12 Nov 2021 13:30:45 GMT

Hi,

i am looking for a solution to be able to export an image of a chart within an app.
I have built a working example using the visualization api using java script.
However i need a way to do that within a job running on a server using for example Java, PHP or similar.
I have used the QRS API but unfortunately it is not possible to export images with that API.

Does anybody have an idea/advice how to accomplish that?

Would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Nadia,

yes as mentioned i built a script doing exactly that.
But i need to implement this in a server side script so not on the client/javascript.
I have the feeling though this is not possible using native Qlik functions ...

Cheers,
John

Hi @schmidtj

I was not able to find a method to export images using the Engine API.

Kind Regards.
