You can use feeds of you can directly load the tabular data from the specific html file.

But what the tools or connectors do is , they provide you all the related data with your credentials as a database having all tables respectively.

Hi,

We have to use connectors for getting the data from Social Media, without this it is bit difficult. You can get various connectors from QVSource.com. Otherwise we can also create connectors if you don't want to buy form third party.

Hi,

There can be sources of data which are not available through ODBC or OLE DB sources and are not readable as flat files. QVX (QlikView data eXchange) is a file/stream format for data which allows you to create your own connector for input into QlikView. A QVX formatted file contains metadata describing a table of data and the actual data. The QVX SDK contains two examples (with sample c# code) of extracting data from the Windows Event log for both QVX file production and streaming data directly into QlikView.
