The following release notes cover the standalone version of Qlik Web Connectors released in December 2021.

What's new in Qlik Web Connectors December 2021

 

General Improvements

  • Updated prerequisites, the Web Connectors now requires .NET Framework 4.8 (previously 4.7.2)
  • For applicable Connectors, the prompt/consent level defaults to select_account on the initial authentication
  • For connectors using OAuth, the flow now uses PKCE, and the authentication codes are returned to a ‘v3.htm’ page instead of ‘v2.htm‘ (depending on your environment, you may need to add or update this in the whitelists)

Specific Connector Improvements and Adjustments

Amazon S3:

  • Added regions for US government
  • Added region parameter as optional to CanAuthenticate and ListBuckets tables

GitHub:

  • Added Statuses and StatusHistory tables

Google Analytics:

  • Added validation rule for parameter 'Start Date'
  • Improved table description for UnsampledReportsGet to make it clear that Google Drive connector is needed to retrieve this data

Google Drive & Spreadsheets:

  • Removed the previously deprecated table GetWorksheet

OData:

  • Increased auth header parameter length limit to 5000
  • The authentication parameters no longer included in generated load script when not necessary

Office 365 SharePoint:

  • Updated validation of the ‘Folder’ for ListFolders and ListFiles tables
  • Improved URL concatenation for API requests

Slack:

  • Improved pagination

Watson Natural Language Understanding:

  • Added API URL for the connection on all tables

Twitter:

  • Added 'Ignore Rate Limit Errors' input parameter to FriendIds and HomeTimeline tables

The following connector APIs have been updated to provide improvements in various features as well as performance.

  • Azure Storage, to version 2020-12-06
  • Google Ad Manager, to v202111
  • Microsoft Dynamics CRM, to version 9.2
  • Watson Natural Language Understanding, to version 2021-10-12

Detailed API documentation can be found for each connector within the Qlik Web Connectors application via links under About/Useful Links, and on the Qlik Connectors pages in the online help.

Deprecated Connectors

The Bitly V2 Connector has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Three connectors are removed due to extensive changes in their APIs making it impractical to modify the existing connectors.

  • Facebook Fan Pages
  • Google AdSense
  • Microsoft Dynamics CRM

A new version of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM connector with the suffix V2 was previously released, see more details in this blog.

Resolved Defects

General: update to use v2.0 of authentication API (fixes error AADSTS90027 during consent/authentication)

Amazon S3: fix in China endpoint domains

GitHub: fix in authentication

Google Drive & Spreadsheets: corrected error when a non existing table name is requested

OData: fixed issue 'Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1' caused by BOM in returned XML data for ListResources and GetData tables
