.NET SDK C# Image Export

[bramkn]

Hi,

So the people using JS got the Image export available with their API.

Is there anyone that found a way to do this within C#? 

Apparently the API's for this are not public, but why??

I have got it to work with opening a browser and navigating through it to export the image and get it from the server. But this is not really reliable to use.

If the API's are not going to be public, is there a way to for example put a bit of JS within the application and handle this image export for the C# bit? If so does it need any install of node.js for example? I have not worked with JS and the Qlik API's.

If someone would be able to provide sample code for this last bit, that would be really awesome.

Hi @bramkn , @Øystein_Kolsrud  , @Alexander_Thor 

I'm trying to use the below code to create a snapshot:

Qlik.Sense.Client.Snapshot.ISnapshot sd;
sd = qsApp.CreateSnapshot("xyz", sheet.Id, top5Customers.Id);
string objectData = sd.SnapshotData.PrintStructure();

objectData looks like the following:

"{\"object\":{\"size\":{\"h\":481.84613,\"w\":835.3125}},\"content\":{\"size\":{\"h\":454.84613,\"w\":835.3125},\"chartData\":{\"discreteSpacing\":0.0,\"axisInnerOffset\":0.0,\"hasMiniChart\":true,\"legendScrollOffset\":0.0,\"scrollOffset\":0.0}},\"parent\":{\"h\":1983.38452,\"w\":2753.75}}"

I also tried with:

sd.Layout.PrintStructure();

but the image is still not being generated.

What method should I use to make the HTTP POST request to Qlik Printing Service?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards

Hi,

Finally I got the object exported as image with snapshot and object layout structure.
Thank you all for your collaboration.

Best regards

Hi @agigliotti , can you share this part of your code plz ?

Hi @desqloud ,

I'm sorry but I can't share the code free of charge.

Hi. I'm trying to do something similar but struggling to work out how to produce the image once I have the ID of the object I want an image of.

Can you at least share the method you used to construct the image / give people who may find this thread some direction? Sharing knowledge is beneficial to all in the community.

Yes of course, I'm using qlitask.com works fine for me

Hmm, don't think that's an option for me. I need to do it via APIs. Thanks anyway.
