Uploading app trough REST API via Python script

[vasilev]

Hello guys,

I am trying to upload a Qlik Sense app into the QMC with a python script using the REST API.

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/May2024/Subsystems/RepositoryServiceAPI/Content/Sense_Re...

I am using the following script:

import requests

requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()

xrf = '1234567890123456'

#Set up necessary headers comma separated

headers = {

    'X-Qlik-Xrfkey': xrf,

    'X-Qlik-User': 'UserDirectory=INTERNAL;UserId=sa_repository',

    'Content-Type': 'application/vnd.qlik.sense.app'

}

#Set the endpoint URL

url = 'https://servername:4242/qrs/app/upload?name=ImportREST&Xrfkey={}'.format(xrf)

#Set up the certificate path

cert = ('C:/LocalUserData/Certificates/Sense TEST/client.pem', 'C:/LocalUserData/Certificates/Sense TEST/client_key.pem')

# Open file

with open("C:/Users/<user_id>/Downloads/ImportREST.qvf", "rb") as f:

    files = {'file': f.read()}

# Send the POST request

try:

    response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, files=files, verify=False, cert=cert)

    response.raise_for_status()  # Raise an error for bad responses

    print('Upload successful!  Server responded with:', response.text)

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as err:

    print('Upload failed:', err)

After executing the script I am getting the error "500 Server Error: Internal Server Error for url: https://servername:4242/qrs/app/upload?name=ImportREST&Xrfkey=1234567890123456".

I tried to upload the same app with Postman and it worked perfectly. These are my settings in Postman.

I am struggling all the day with this issue I have no idea what I am doing wrong in Python. Has anybody an idea what could be the problem with the script?

BR,

Rumen

def import_app(self, name, filename):
"""
Imports an application
:param name: Name of application to import
:param filename: Path and file of qvf
:returns: HTTP Status Code
"""
path = 'qrs/app/upload?name={0}'.format(name)
headers["Content-Type"] = "application/vnd.qlik.sense.app"
headers["Connection"] = "Keep-Alive"
with open(filename, 'rb') as app:
return self.post(path, app)
