Hi,

The link supplied by @Lech_Miszkiewicz  https://nprintingadventures.com/2019/04/08/nprinting-api-qlik-rest-subroutines/ refers to Qlik NPrinting 17+.

In Lech's article there is also the link to this article by Gianluca Perin https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-NPrinting-Discussions/How-to-use-Qlik-NPrinting-APIs-inside-a-Qli... that also refers to Qlik NPrinting 17+

Qlik NPrinting 17+ APIs are documented in the official help site at the page https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/November2019/Content/NPrinting/Extending/Intro-Extending.htm

External XML doesn't exists in Qlik NPrinting 17+. It was developed in QlikView NPrinting 14, 15 etc before the On-Demand. On-Demand and APIs replace the external XML feature.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-NPrinting-Discussions/How-to-use-Qlik-NPrinting-APIs-inside-a-Qli...

and following steps in pdf : How to use NPrinting APIs inside a Sense load script .pdf
Could you please help me out for the below error:

QVX_UNEXPECTED_END_OF_DATA: HTTP protocol error 405 (Method Not Allowed):

{"message":"The requested resource does not support http method 'POST'."}

seems like you're using your POST lib connection when you should have used the GET lib connection.

[Lech_Miszkiewicz]

well for different methods you need to use different connections. My NPrinting.qvs library takes care of it automaticly (uses different connections for different methods!), but if you wish to write your own code here is a reference to API https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/November2019/APIs/NP+API/index.html

as you can see there is no POST/APPS method - so for this you need to use GET method hence get connection

Thanks.
