Hi,
We are using Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows May 2023 version. We are trying to figure out how to fetch external data with API key. Previously we have used rest connector with endpoints. All it needed was username and password. But we have never before used API key in Qlik sense. Can anyone please answer below questions,
1. Which connector in Qlik Sense enterprise can we use?
2. We are using Get method. Can you please advice (example would be great) where to enter URL and where to enter API Key. Any authentication that we have to choose?
We are able to fetch through Postman but dont know how to do the same in Qlik Sense. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Hi @Mr_Pearl
Using a REST connection you have several options:
Ah! "WITH CONNECTION" has to be enabled editing your REST connection . And another topic if your QS release is may Patch 3 or higher and you want to use "WITH CONNECTION" there's a bug with the REST connection. Please read the following post: Qlik Sense May 2023 Patch 3 causes REST connection... - Qlik Community - 2096170
I think it'll be helpful for you.
