read app tags in Qlik Cloud

[coengiesberts_anva]

I would like an Qlik Application Automation to read the tags that are saved at app level. Is there a way to do that? 

See example below:

I just found out these tags can be found through the collections API.

Collections REST | Qlik Developer Portal

Problem solved 🙂

We will also be looking to add blocks to automations for this in August, and a tutorial on qlik.dev to make this more accessible!

Hey @coengiesberts_anva  thank you for sharing that. I am new to qlik automations. Can you share how can I use these APIs in qlik automations to read / write/ edit the tags via #Qlik Application Automation.

Also can anyone help with how to add or edit the custom attributes for app?

[coengiesberts_anva]

The tags you can read through the block "List Collections" and then set then set Type to Public. This block is part of the Qlik Platform Operations connector. If that is not available to you, you could use the RAW API List Request block or the RAW API Request block.

I don't have the answer to your qst about the custom attributes.

Hi, Just looking at this:
If i wanted to only refresh apps with a certain tag would it require 3 more blocks? 
1. list collections of the tags from apps in List Apps
2. condition block for : if tag = 'Yes'  or 'No'
3. if Yes list Apps again, and then link this to Do Reload 2?

Does this make sense?

 List Space has a parameter to return only managed spaces, so you can skip the condition for that. 

You will need to add a block to looks whether the app has tags. So yes it will require a couple of steps to gather all the info that you need.
