[QlikCloud] REST API App publish request, body data parameter has unclear values.

[sanekagr2]

Hello,

I tried to publish an app using this function 

 (https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/apps/#%23%2Fentries%2Fv1%2Fapps%2F-appId%2Fpublish-post

and received an internal error. 

What must be inserted into these values, data: source and target?

You can find on the right an example

Thank you for your response. What should be the value of the "data" parameter? As I see in the documentation, it must include "source" and "target"

As far as I know they are optional. Try with this body

{

    "spaceId": "{{targetSpaceId}}",

    "attributes": {

        "name": "Published App",

        "description": "This is the published app for end users"

    }

}

Hello @sanekagr2 

target/source are not parameter names, they are possible values of the "data" parameter.

"source" is when publishing a new app in a managed space, "target" is when overwriting an already published app.

"source" needs spaceId

{"spaceId":"65c192539f1a7c73874e3174","attributes":{"name":"test4","description":"test"},"data":"source"}

"target" needs targetId (ID of the app that you want to replace) :

{"targetId":"042caa57-96f8-4802-9e9b-2f7a0d131afa","data":"target","attributes":{"name":"test4","description":"test"}}

 
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the explanation
