Exporting Metadata

[Rodrous]

I am looking forward to export metadata from Qlik and import in a DG env, so i want to understand what kind of metadata qliksense have and if it can be exported through the RestAPI or other ways?
From the documentation i understand there are 3 types of extractable infos, Dataflow, Business Metadata and Publish information, but it doesnt explain exactly what can be exported (Table info , DB info ...etc.)

Can someone point me to  resources where it explains what kind of metadata can be extracted, and how to extract it (is there a REST endpoint for it.. etc)

Hi,

Read below points that might helps you.

The specific metadata that can be extracted depends on the API used and the type of metadata you're interested in. Here's a brief overview of the types of metadata Qlik Sense provides and how they can be extracted:

1. Data Connections: Information about the data sources used in your Qlik Sense app, such as databases, files, and web services, can be extracted using the QRS API.

2. Tables and Fields: Metadata about the tables and fields in your data sources can be extracted using the QRS API.

3. Business Metadata: This includes information such as data lineage, data quality rules, and data definitions. This metadata can be managed using the Qlik Data Catalyst product and can be extracted using the Data Catalyst REST API.

4. Data Models: Information about the data models used in your Qlik Sense app, including dimensions, measures, and hierarchies, can be extracted using the Qlik Sense Engine API.

5. App Objects: Metadata about the visualizations, sheets, and stories in your Qlik Sense app can be extracted using the QRS API.
