QRS API Stability Index

[philipp_ebner]

Hello together,

I was wondering what "stability index" the Qlik Sense Repository Service (QRS) API has. I read through the official help but could not find an answer. My question is simple: how reliable is that API and will it be supported in future Qlik Sense Versions?

Thank you very much.

It will be outlined in the spec for each endpoint. From https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/Content/Sense_Helpsites/api-governance.htm we have the definitions. When we call GET /qrs/about/openapi/main we get responses like this:

    "/app/full": {
      "get": {
        "operationId": "05ddfd59-e691-6860-0577-660c7a93dc12",
        "parameters": [
          {
            "name": "filter",
            "in": "query",
            "required": false,
            "type": "string",
            "allowEmptyValue": true
          },
          {
            "name": "orderby",
            "in": "query",
            "required": false,

            "type": "boolean",
            "allowEmptyValue": true
          }
        ],
        "responses": {
          "200": {
            "description": "OK",
            "schema": {

              "items": {
                "$ref": "#/definitions/App"
              }
            }
          }
        },
        "x-qlik-visibility": "Public",
        "x-qlik-stability": "Locked"
      }
    }

Inspect the x-qlik-visibility and x-qlik-stability elements.
