Snapshots in APIs

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am relatively new to Qlik Sense development and was wondering whether it is possible to access/get a reference to an app' snapshot. The idea would be to create a mashup that uses snapshots from stories from different apps.

Unless I have overlooked something, based on what I see in the dev-hub and the API reference, it doesn't seem to be possible.

If that is the case, any suggestion or alternative idea would be greatly appreciated.

For example - and please correct me if I am wrong - a snapshot (a point-in-time status of an object) could be replicated by applying a given set of selections, or a bookmark, to a sheet object. An extension could probably save the current selection and the object of interest and the mashup code could then apply the selections to the specific object and then render the object...

Thank you

Hi Andrea,

Sounds like you may be looking for the getSnapshot Method

Hi Francis,

I have built a small app made of a single sheet, with a single chart and took one single snapshot of that chart.

How do I retrieve the Snapshot ID? The getAppObjectList method - without the optional Type parameter - returns only the chart ID.

Initially, I assumed the snapshot might have used the same ID of the chart it was derived from - though you might have multiple snapshots per object - but that is not the case. Any idea?

Thank you

Hi andrea_monico‌,

The method getAppObjectList is deprecated, you should use getList method http://help.qlik.com/sense/2.1/en-us/developer/?_ga=1.194133037.1811648297.1444235343#../Subsystems/...

app.getList("SnapshotList", function(reply){

     $.each(reply.qFieldList.qItems, function(key, value) {

          //do something

     });

});
