REST Api for QLIK Data Gateway Direct Access

TobiasHeisecke — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 09:27:01 GMT

Hi everybody,

do you know if there is REST-Api for QLIK Data Gateway Direct Access?

Can't find it so far. I want to create a data connection that runs over Data Gateway Direct Access programmaticaly and therefor i have to set connection string parameter: gatewayInstance.

And i think the first step will be to create a Data Gateway programmaticaly, after installing it at on the server.

kind regards

Hi @TobiasHeisecke

To your questions:

With respect to APIs that could configure and manage data gateways on Qlik Cloud, we have these on the roadmap but with no ETA
For the creation of data connections over an existing direct access gateway instance, we are working on this at the moment and hope to land this early next year

Hi @neekul

We do not have a timeline for the APIs which configure the gateway itself on the tenant (e.g. make it appear in the admin panel).

For creation of connections, you can use the data-connections API as you would for any other data connection. For the missing step, finding a gateway ID, you can use the data-sources API, as it has an endpoint which will return any gateways which support your chosen data source type.

We have most of this covered in this tutorial: https://qlik.dev/manage/data-connections/gateway-data-connections/

@Dave_Channon ,

I am trying to create a connection to a rest endpoint within our firewall and I used the https://<tenant>.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/data-sources. There was a Source id for rest, there was no dg rest and I got the following response for https://<tenant>.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/data-sources/rest/gateways:

"status": 400,

"errors": [

{

"code": "DCAAS-2013",

"title": "Datasource ID not defined",

"status": 400,

"meta": "datasource 'rest' is not valid for gateway"

}

"traceId": "3567d9fb2c3f18455c0255665a493bcf"

}

@Dave_Channon , Maybe I mixed up things. Is it possible to setup rest API through direct gateway based on the article - https://qlik.dev/manage/data-connections/gateway-data-connections/ ?

So - you're ahead of the curve, gateway doesn't currently support REST. But it is in the works, hold tight!

Any updateds on gateway supporting REST?

also, is this product gap (REST connection on data gateway) documented anywhere officially? is this working in SAAS and / or Qlik Cloud Government yet?

where we will be able to see this documented if/when this feature is available in SAAS and Qlik Cloud Government

For REST support, you'll see it in the gateway release notes.

As ever, feel free to vote, create, or watch relevant feature requests on ideation - we update those when features are released (usually with an email notification to all watchers). Look for idea #281167.
