@johnmad,
A REST connection will behave quite differently in Qlik Sense apps, using the REST connector, compared to a traditional ODBC (or similar) data connection.
Each REST API should have a published definition that explains how to interface with it, so the values you apply in your load script will be subject to that particular API's spec.
Best practice with a Sense connection would be to define an always "OK" URL in the connection definition (HTTP 200), and then utilize the WITH CONNECTION keyword (phrase?) to add the specific QUERY/HEADER/BODY/URL for each "table" you want to load.
Note that the REST connector will only accept JSON, XML and CSV response types; however, this should not be a concern while utilizing compliant REST APIs. The connector allows for both GET and POST methods, which combined with the JSON response type should be enough to consume data from the Trackunit IRIS APIs.
This statement about the Trackunit IRIS APIs is based on a cursory review of their documentation and experience with other similar REST APIs such as those of Qlik Cloud and not based on any support by Qlik or personal experience with Trackunit IRIS APIs.
Hope this helps clarify things a bit 🙂
Cheers!
