Hello all, I am working on a project, where I integrated Qlik by embedding the Qlik Apps and Sheets on my website. So the flow is like below:
- User comes to my site, logged in and authenticate with his Qlik account using OAuth, so I have the JWT token of the user.
- User first select a Space from the dropdown, this list generated using the API: Space REST.
- Then user select an App from another dropdown. These Apps are of previously selected Space and generated using the API: Apps REST.
- Now the user select a Sheet from another dropdown. These Sheets are of previously selected App and generated using the JS code: Handle sheets in iframes with enigma.js.
- When user select a Sheet, and click on the 'Load' button, then the related Sheet will render on the website.
It is working but there are some challenges, please check below points for query/issues:
- When I tried to list the Spaces, all of the Spaces are returning from the API. However on the Qlik I can see all these Spaces, but my Qlik user not assigned/selected in these Spaces. So basically I need only Spaces where the logged user is directly assigned/selected. Is it possible to do?
- I am able to view all these Spaces and Apps on the Qlik, but when I tried to embed them then it is not working. I can embed only those Apps where I am assigned in their Spaces.
Following is the error I caught when tried to embed other Apps where I am not assigned in their Space. - Same issue with the Apps also. I need the all Apps of the selected Space only. So is there any filter available for the Apps by Space?
- Currently I am using JS code to list Sheet by App. So is there any API available to list Sheets by an App?
Also for the embedding part, I used following 2 article/question on Qlik community, may be helpful for someone:
- Enhanced Guide: Embedding Qlik Cloud Content with ... - Qlik Community - 2110735
- How to embed Qlik App/Sheet on the website - Qlik Community - 2423034
I found this article also useful: https://github.com/hsharma-lsquared/qlik-cloud-localserver-jwt-IFrame
Can anyone please help me on this.
Thank You...
@njain please check below steps to create client on Qlik Management Console:
Log in to Qlik Account and Access Management Console
- Log in to your Qlik account and navigate to the "Management Console".
Copy the URL, which should be in this format: https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xx.qlikcloud.com/console/home
OAuth Client Configuration
- From the left side menu, select "OAuth".
- Click on the "Create new" button.
- In the "Create new OAuth client configuration" form:
- Choose "Web" as "Client type."
- Provide a unique "Name."
- Under "Scopes," select the following permissions:
- user_default
- offline_access
- admin.apps > admin.apps:read
- apps > apps:read
- Add the redirect URLs:
- Check the "Allow Machine-to-Machine (M2M)" checkbox.
- Copy the "Client ID" and "Client secret" from the next popup for later use.
- In the newly created app, edit the OAuth:
- Change the "Consent method" to "Trusted…"
- Click the "Change consent method" button.
Now you have the Tenant URL, Client ID and Client secret.
Now hit below URL after set your data:
https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xx.qlikcloud.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=<client_id>grant_type=authorization_code&scope=user_default offline_access apps:read admin.apps:read&redirect_uri=https://example.com/api/v1/callback/qlik&state=<some data>
It will redirect you on Qlik to login. After successful login, will redirect on the URL which you set in the app and mentioned in the above URL "https://example.com/api/v1/callback/qlik" with a "code".
Now call /oauth/token to get the token. Have a look at following screenshot:
If everything is OK, you should receive a token.
Now use that token to get the app list by following API:
GET https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/items?resourceType=app
GET https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/apps
I think both APIs will work, take one which will suites you.
Have a nice day.
