REST API authentication in data integration projects.

[Ernesto_García]

Hello folks,

I'm developing a monitoring app in Qlik Sense SaaS that uses the Get project task runtime state REST API:
https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/di-projects/#get-api-v1-di-projects-projectId-di-tasks-dataTaskId-runtime...

The issue is that the bearer token must be regenerated daily, as there doesn’t seem to be a way to create a token that lasts for more than one day.

Expiration period selection has only two options.

Is there a way to define a longer validity period for the token, or alternatively, use a different authentication method for this API?

King regards,

Ernesto.

You can increase the expiration time if you're a admin.

If that's not an option I think there is an automation template that can refresh a key for you:

Thank you, that worked perfectly.

Kind regards,
