Retrieve data from Qlik Sense using Rest-API

[vkal12]

Hello Community,

we currently have a use case where we want to retrieve data from Qlik Sense to use it in another software tool. The provider of the software tool offered us a connection via Rest-API but we do not have any experience with that. 

Is there actually an option, to retrieve data from Qlik Sense and load it into another tool via Rest API and if so, do we just need to use the REST connector from Qlik Sense? 

Thank you very much for your support in advance. 

Kind regards,
Vanessa

hi,

You need to use Node.js as a backend service to get the hypercube from the application & serve as a response in other applications.
Drawback, You might get latency in data so i recommend to save it in a DB such as progress DB
OR
another way is to save the data fro qlik backend in to a flat file (CSV) & then serve the flat file from the location or URL to the other system
