REST API not working i Qlik Sense but in postman and PowerBI

mjac — Wed, 17 May 2023 10:16:04 GMT

I have this long URL API.

When I use it in postman or in Power BI, where is no problems with connection.

When trying to connect in Qlik Sense the error message when using 'REST' or 'WEB file' is:

"Failed to connect to server. Please check connection parameters."

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Can we have more details on this issue?

For example:

1. postman collection

2. How is the REST data connection configured

Thanks

Hi.
I successfully created an API connection in Postman by adding the SasKEY and UserID to the URL.

However, in Qlik Sense (patch 9), when I attempt to click on 'Create new connection (rest)' and enter the same URL, it fails.

I have made various attempts to modify different parameters, as indicated in the attached file.

Hi @mjac

Are you testing Postman from the QS server or from a different server?

I was not able to identify an error in the Attached screenshot, could it be possible to provide the error message?

One thing that can be done from Postman is to get the Powershell equivalent (right icon with symbol </> ) and execute it from the QS server.

Any details about your configuration will be appreciated to provide further assistance.

Kind Regards.
