Calling a REST API

[adkins]

Hi,

Very very new on Qlik, but experienced with development and APIs.

I'm trying to query data from a REST API.

The process is twofold, first authenticate, grab a token in the response, then query the other APIs.

On postman I can authenticate fine, and grab a success json object with the session token I can use to query other APIs.

On click, I get a success=false and an empty token.

The query is super simple, POST to the api url with a json {"Login":"yadayada","Password":"password"} payload.

CUSTOM CONNECT TO "Provider=QvRestConnector.exe;url=http://url/api/login;timeout=30;method=POST;requestBody={%3Login%3:%3yadda%3,%3Password%3:%3password...;";

I've tried authSchema=anonymous as well without success.

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂
