API Connection - Example using bearer token

[FrankGrimm]

Hello together,

i would like to define a API connection to an external system.

This system have given me a token for API identifikation.

With postman everything works fine.

But how can i use the token to define the Qlik connection? There is no "token" listetd.

Thanks to all.

Frank

Hi @FrankGrimm 

We have a couple of external APIs we use and all of them seem to have their own way they want the token.

Depending on how you  get the call to work in Postman, you can try the following.

Try adding the token as a header,

Some of them want the token in the body.

You will need to add the header based on the API requirement.

The other API we use require the header / token field name as "x-access-token".

Hope this gives you some guidance.

Hi Willie,

thanks a lot.

The first way was the solution.
