Hey Sindhu,

You can use Web connectors and extract data from APIs.

Hello:

You can try with Qlik Web Connectors.

Hello @sindhu_ibizcs,

You can either work with QlikWebConnectors (there are connectors for facebook/twitter/youtube)

However, as mentioned above, you can also work it out by using the REST connector in order to communicate with APIs.

Check these resources out:

Pinterest Developers

Instagram Developer

Hope this helps

I pull social data into Qlik by mixing API-based connectors with a few custom scripts, especially for platforms that don’t offer direct connectors. For image-based account matching, I sometimes cross-check profiles with face2social.com, which helps me confirm whether the accounts I’m pulling data from actually match the images in my dataset. It saves me a bunch of manual verification time.
