QlikProductUpdates

In the past few weeks, Connector Factory has released new generic connectors that will enable you to greatly expand the number of applications that can interact with Qlik Application Automation.  Connector Factory is Qlik’s strategy to continually expand access to and delivery of data from hundreds of SaaS applications and data sources to fuel ever-evolving enterprise cloud analytics and data integration needs. 

Check out some of the newest connectors available in Qlik Cloud:

New connector: API key

This connector is designed for advanced users to connect with platforms that do not have any additional security requirements and do not yet have a dedicated Qlik Application Automation connector.  The connector employs the API key authentication flow, which requires only the API key to make requests to a specific API.  It supports the RAW API and RAW API LIST Request Blocks as well as common types of paging and rate limitations. You can find further details on this API key connector, including an example, here.

New connector:  Basic Authentication

This connector is designed for advanced users to connect to platforms that have simple security requirements and do not yet have a dedicated Qlik Application Automation connector.  It uses a basic authentication flow (i.e. username and password) to make requests to a specific API.  Like the API Key Connector, this connector supports the RAW API and RAW API LIST Request Blocks as well as common types of paging and rate limitations.  You can find further details on this Basic Authentication connector, including an example, here.

New connector:  Oauth2

This connector is designed for advanced users to connect to platforms that utilize the standard 3-legged Oauth2 protocol for authorization and do not yet have a dedicated Qlik Application Automation connector. It uses a 3-legged Oauth2 authorization code flow to authenticate and make requests to a specific API.  Like the other new connectors, it also supports the RAW API and RAW API LIST Request Blocks as well as common types of paging and rate limitations.  You can further details on this Oauth2 connector, including an example, here.
