APIs for Uploading Data and Creating Sheets/Visualizations in Qlik Cloud

Hi everyone,

We have successfully used the Create App API and Upload Data API in Qlik Cloud. However, we are looking for additional APIs to:

Upload data and link it directly to an app (instead of just uploading files).
Create sheets programmatically – We tried using WebSocket APIs, but they didn’t work as expected.
Create visualizations dynamically via APIs.

Does Qlik provide any REST APIs for these functionalities, or is WebSocket the only option? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hey @adilkashan_siddiqui , for interacting and doing stuff with a Qlik Sense App, you have to use Engine APIs (websocket). These APIs allow you to create sheet and visualizations within the sheet.
