Qlik Sense QRS REST API Access

[SituFangs]

Is there a decent zero to REST API tutorial or guide for Qlik Sense Enterprise?

I’m a full stack dev who is comfortable with JWTs, basic auth etc and very comfortable with Node/JS and API calls, custom headers, etc but for some reason none of the guides I’ve found really cover every setting that is required.

Why do I need a cert etc? What’s a virtual proxy vs proxy? If only there was an API to call...

Hello @SituFangs, regarding virtual proxy in Qlik Sense, here we have a community thread that was answered by one of our developers: https://community.qlik.com/t5/New-to-Qlik-Sense/what-is-proxy-vs-virtual-proxy-in-qliksense-context/...

Here you have a guide about how to configure virtual proxy: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-admin/May2021/Subsystems/DeployAdministerQSE/Content/Sense_DeployA...

Regarding QRS API you have the reference API guide available here: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/May2021/APIs/RepositoryServiceAPI/index.html and how to connect here: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/May2021/Subsystems/RepositoryServiceAPI/Content/Sense_Re... 

Hope it can help you achieve what you need 🙂
