hi there,

i like to receive data via a rest post request.

therefore i need to send the request in form-data.

does qlik support this at all?

Yes, Qlik supports POST requests through its standard REST Connector. However, while Qlik does not have a single "form-data" checkbox, you can send data in this format by manually configuring the headers and body.

hi Greg,

thanks for your reply,

I found different approaches but none of them worked.

Can you provide an example of a request?

I only have one header, the Authorization, and two form data keys.

In the Qlik rest connection i also added "Content-Type":multipart/form-data else I get an error.

thanks
