Qlik Data Gateway and rest connector

[oodimkooo]

Hello! I'm new to Qlik Cloud, trying to use our company's local API in application by creating a GET request over Rest connector and getting timeout errors again and again. 

We have QLik Data Gateway installed and configured, does rest connector support it? It seems that there is no definitely "no" in docs...

Hi @oodimkooo Qlik Data Gateway cannot work with local API via REST connection.

As Vinay said a REST connector is not on Qlik Data Gateway Direct Access, you might want to use our Ideation platform to request this enhancement if is not yet there.

also, is this product gap (REST connection on data gateway) documented anywhere officially?  is this working in SAAS and / or Qlik Cloud Government yet?

Hello @Ken_T,

This is on our roadmap as you can see on our Ideation portal:

is there any estimate on when this might be available?  the idea for this was submitted in 2022...

many users do not have access to the ideas page, will this be documented somewhere on the community or in product documents when it is available?
