Solved: Reload Apps with API - Qlik Community

John_Peter · ‎2023-08-16

Hi,

I have a requirement to reload an app using API.

I tried with following url

>curl https://xxx.xx.qlikcloud.com/qrs/app/3e324b7c-bcd3-4984-85bd-2ccfc0aa2155/reload -X POST --ssl-no-revoke -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJFUzM4NCIsImtpZCI6ImQwOThjZDhkLTc2M2UtNDNjZC1iZjdmLWJjOWQxMWU0MmFlMCIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWJUeXBlIjoidXNlciIsInRlbmFudElkIjoiMG1CTXExSW1qMnBFWHYyUnhpZzdqUlBqM013ajVoVXoiLCJqdGkiOiJkMDk4Y2Q4ZC03NjNlLTQzY2QtYmY3Zi1iYzlkMTFlNDJhZTAiLCJhdWQiOiJxbGlrLmFwaSIsImlzcyI6InFsaWsuYXBpL2FwaS1rZXlzIiwic3ViIjoiNjRkNDRkMmVlZDc5MjhiODlmN2MxYTdkIn0.0pcXKkfBXZR_JOqDvZh_wOOTg46AG1P8fuRmP2GTlaSo2FCmMWNlGRsW6Wdnb-36xXOzVywNbaTaXMJiM1dnb9vsnXI0PmYSAmjIPLKYmDvsxmh8q2i3etiOEbLVgdWh"

But it showing 405 Not allowed Error.

Response

<html>
<head><title>405 Not Allowed</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>405 Not Allowed</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>
</body>
</html>

I tried with Postman also ,got the same error.

Could you anyone suggest how to call API with Post method.

Thanks,

John

It should be POST request to https://XXX.eu.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/reloads and the body is a JSON with the app id: {"appId":"3e324b7c-bcd3-4984-85bd-2ccfc0aa2155"} (and the authorization header ofc)

The response of this request will be returned when Qlik acknowledge your reload request and NOT when the app is reloaded. The response will have the reload id.

Once you have the reload id then you can start pooling: GET request to https://XXX.eu.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/reloads/<reload-id> This will return the status of the reload with one of the possible options: QUEUED, RELOADING, CANCELING, SUCCEEDED, FAILED, CANCELED, EXCEEDED_LIMIT

The end statuses (aka the app reload is finished) - SUCCEEDED, FAILED,CANCELED,EXCEEDED_LIMIT

Regards!

qlikcloud.com/qrs? Against which edition you are trying to run the API? Qlik SaaS or Windows?

qlikcloud.com - seems like a SaaS url

/qrs - seems like a Windows edition

Hi.

This is really useful. Is there a way to expand on this to fetch only the last successful reload of an app?

I'm using this string to fetch back all reload times which I can loop through using __FK_next to get the next 100 records etc.

'https://XXX.XX.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/reloads?filter=status%20eq%20%22SUCCEEDED%22&limit=100'

So rather than looping multiple times to ensure I get all apps and then reducing the table using MAX and grouping by the appId, is there a way to only fetch back the last successful reload details for each app?

Many thanks in advance.
