PowerShell - App: Export app (call 2 of 2) - How to reference the exported ticket ID from step 1? (automated run)

[adamb14]

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/2.2/Subsystems/RepositoryServiceAPI/Content/RepositorySe...

Download an existing app, identified by {appId}, using an {exportTicketId}.

Information noteHow do I reference the ticket ID returned in call 1 of 2 in the next line? 

Call 1: /qrs/app/{id}/export

Returns: GUID (that is, an export ticket)

Call 2: /qrs/download/app/{appId}/{exportTicketId}/{fileName}

Sorry new to powershell and this has got me stumped, done some searching on using the returned GUID but i'm more confused... 😄

Hi Adam,

Maybe the script provided as the solution here may get you in the right direction: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Integration-Extension-APIs/QRS-Export-App-without-data/td-p/128474

$hdrs = @{}


$hdrs.Add("X-Qlik-Xrfkey","examplexrfkey123")


$hdrs.Add("X-Qlik-User", "UserDirectory=INTERNAL; UserId=sa_api")


$cert = Get-ChildItem -Path "Cert:\CurrentUser\My" | Where {$_.Subject -like '*QlikClient*'}


$body = '{}'


$Data = Get-Content C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Host.cfg


$FQDN = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString([System.Convert]::FromBase64String($($Data)))


[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Ssl3,Tls,Tls11,Tls12'


$guid = [guid]::NewGuid()


$download = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://$($FQDN):4242/qrs/App/c9fadcd3-20f5-434b-a0f8-a73e46943294/export/$($guid)?xrfkey=examplexrf..." -Method Post -Body $body -Headers $hdrs -ContentType 'application/json' -Certificate $cert


Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://$($FQDN):4242$($download.downloadPath)" -Method Get -Headers $hdrs -ContentType 'application/json' -Certificate $cert |  Set-Content small.qvf -Encoding Ascii

Also, the API Endpoint you are currently using is not the suggested method for exporting apps. See these resources:
