NPRINT API TASK (POST,PUT,DELETE)

[jhomminga]

Is it possible to control, via REST API, the menu option in NPRINT:4993 that is TASK->PUBLISH TASK?
would like to manager users, destinations (email, newstand, folder)
was able to login, edit a filter, and run a task....  but filter/users/destinations need to be controlled in tandem. 

right now in the API documentation I can only see to GET

thank you!

All what you can do is available in documentation and as you correctly identified there are no TASK POST, PUT or DELETE methods. Sorry

ok was hoping there was a way. thank you for reply! 
was hoping could create, set recipients, destinations, and task execute, delete repeat. Or a command line interface, or something in javascript.

you can use the "unsupported" API endpoint /npe. Use the standard api to login etc and after that you may use /npe instead. Use Dev tools to investigate how WebConsole uses these endpoints.

Hi,

As you told /npe is not supported and not public.

You can use it but from a release to another it could be modified so your custom software will require updates to continue to work.

Of course, but given the (to be frank - total) lack of progress on NP API we're forced to use unsupported ways to manage our environments.

Hi,

We are doing progress on other features, for example we just released the Migration Tool.

If you need some specific API, open a support ticket with the request and it will be keep in care during the decisional process of new feature development.

Best Regards,

From my POW, everything in WC should be possible with API (pretty much like Sense)

If you (Qlik) add endpoints for create/update app, connection, report and tasks your almost there, and if you add the possibility to import a report in the release after that you are close to finished 🙂
