REST API with POST method not working in Qlik Sense

v_nicolino — Mon, 26 Sep 2022 13:30:15 GMT

Hello.

I have a problem with REST connector with OAuth schema authentication. I need to do authentication with username and password using POST method and get the token. I have tried various ways but the connection to the server fails.
I tried putting username and password in the Request body box in JSON format. I have also tried putting credentials in the "query parameters" and "query headers" fields.
How could this be done ? Any advice ?

thanks

Hello @v_nicolino

Where you need to put username and password depend on the REST API you're connecting to.

Have you tried the same in Postman and see if that works? If that works in Postman, where do you put the username and password? in the request body ?

If you are not sure where to put them, you might want to check with the person managing the REST API server you're connecting to.

Best regards,
