Is there an REST API for App Variables?

jmcy2408 — Wed, 15 May 2024 09:06:01 GMT

Hi,

I know in Qlik Application Automation there is the Qlik Cloud Services blocks category there is a block to update variable in the app. Is there an REST API endpoint i can use to use this same feature outwith Qlik, ie Postman or MS Power Automate?

I have tried looking at the APIs | Qlik Developer Portal and Get started with the Variable API | Qlik Developer Portal but cant get it to work for me.

GET -- {tenent_url}/apps/{appID}/variables > to list variables but nothing

Thanks in advance.

You need to go through the engine API to update variables. That API is based on JSON-RPC over websockets, so you can't do this with a REST call. The endpoint you are looking for is this:
