[Qlik1_User1]

Hi All,

Is it mandatory to use hypercube in mashup? if not why hypercube is used for?
Also if my dashboard is refreshing after every 2 hours, do we need to code something in mashup to bring the updated data?

Is hypercube related to bringing updated data in mashup

The "Hypercube" is the primary tool for extracting data from Qlik Sense. Most visualizations rely on these constructs to fetch data to render. This blog post gives an introduction to what it's all about from an API point of view:
