Qlik Engine API and vba

Hi,

I managed to successfully use the protocol tester on http://localhost:4848/ but I'd like to know if it is possible to use the Qlik Engine API with vba (Excel or Access for example) to do automation on Qlik Sense Desktop ? We can send json request with Excel-REST maybe..but what is the url to use (http://locaslhost:4848/api ???). Do you have an example of this ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

If it's not necesary to use COM there is the Qlik Sense .Net SDK that you could use. You will find more information about the .Net SDK on https://help.qlik.com/sense/en-us/developer/

Hi you will find the dlls in a zip file under "Downloads" (QliokSense.NetSDK1.0.x_x64.zip). Be sure to download the version as you have on your desktop. You will also find useful help under the developer site in help.qlik.com.
