Qlik REST Connector Request Body format is not right

[NZFei]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to POST to an API endpoint TrackUnit to have the token using Qlik REST connector and I had the following error.  After doing some tests (for example inputting the wrong user name and pw on purpose), I figured out that the format to embed multiple lines into request body is not accepted by the API end point. 

I used the same credentials and could POST successfully in Postman but in Qlik REST connector, it returned and said invalid credentials:

Does anyone know how to fix this? The format grant_type=password&username=xxx&password=xxx in request body does not work. What should be the correct format?

Thanks a lot!

Fei

Im not familiar with TrackUnit specifics but can see from their documentation that the body for the "token" request should be in "x-www-form-urlencoded" format. 

Could you please try and add query header to your request "Content-Type" with value "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" and then try again?

Thank you for your reply. I already added that to the header.

Hi NZFei,

Did you manage to resolve this issue? I am also dealing with a very similar issue.
Thanks

No, my client has given up.

It is not the only time that you can make API work in Postman but not Qlik REST connector...

My client also 'gave up' and is exploring other options. In their case, it would seem that the API development did not adhere to API standards.
