Get Qlik Sense Task ID by passing Task Name using API endpoint from C# .net code

[Manish]

Hi

I have a requirement where I would like to get task ID by passing the task name using QS API endpoint from C#.net code.

Is this something that can be done?

I tried below code which is giving me all the tasks but I want to pass a task name and get its specific task id.

var restClient = new RestClient(qliksenseurl);

var executeTask1 = $"/qrs/task/";

var rsp1 = await restClient.GetAsync<JArray>(executeTask1);

Hi @Manish,

We are here again 🙂

Use this code and you should be fine. I used as a filter a task name called 'Temp Test':

try
{
Console.WriteLine("Starting Qlik Sense Connection");
var restClient = new RestClient(qlikSenseUrl);
restClient.AsNtlmUserViaProxy(new NetworkCredential(userName, securePassword, userDomain), certificateValidation: false);
Console.WriteLine("Connection stabilished");

var getTaskURL = $"/qrs/task?filter=name eq 'Temp Test'";
foreach (var task in await restClient.GetAsync<JArray>(getTaskURL))
{
Console.WriteLine(task["id"]);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}

Hahah... Yes, I thought it is better to start a new discussion rather than using the old one.

Thanks @marksouzacosta It worked perfectly.

As a little trick, 

There is a PowerShell binary module QlikSenseCLI. in recent versions of Qlik Sense this will be in you install directory \Tools\QlikSenseCLI

you can add the QlikSenseCLI.dll to you C# project, and use that to communicate with the QRS Apis.

bool TrustAllCertificates = true;
// you can authenticate in a variety of ways
//Current User Local system
client = QlikSenseCLI.QlikSense.Connect();
//QlikClient Certificate Auth
client = QlikSenseCLI.QlikSense.Connect(hostname, x509Cetificate, "Internal\\sa_api", TrustAllCertificates);
//Specified host Current User Auth
client = QlikSenseCLI.QlikSense.Connect(hostname,TrustAllCertificates);
//Specified host, specified credentials
client = QlikSenseCLI.QlikSense.Connect(hostname,networkCredentials,TrustAllCertificates);

var getTaskURL = $"/qrs/task?filter=name eq 'Temp Test'";
QlikSenseCLI.Model.TaskCondensed[] tasks = client.InvokeGet(getTaskURL);

var getTaskFullURL = $"/qrs/task/full?filter=name eq 'Temp Test'";
QlikSenseCLI.Model.Task[] tasksFull = client.InvokeGet(getTaskFullURL);
