Qlik Sense applications running in Qlik Cloud rely on Analytics Data Connections to load data from external sources. The new Data Connectivity as a Service (DCaaS) API provides you with the ability to provision new Analytics Data Connections to supported sources using any supported authentication type.

This release of the DCaaS API supports creation of direct connections to:

  • REST
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Databricks
  • Google Big Query
  • Amazon S3 (Web Storage and Metadata, via either v1 or v2 connector)
  • Google Cloud Storage (Web Storage and Metadata)
  • SFTP
  • SFDC

Note: Connections via the Direct Access or Data Movement Gateway are not supported in this release. Non-analytics data connections cannot be configured via DCaaS.

Additionally, support for calls to paths /api/v1/dcaas and /api/v1/data-credentials have been added to the Raw blocks in the Qlik Cloud Services connector in Qlik Application Automation (Qlik Platform Operations allows all endpoints by default).

The Platform Operations connector is a connector for Qlik Application Automation that makes deploying and managing tenants in Qlik Cloud possible without code.

Block updates:

The following blocks have been added to the connector:

  • Deactivate tenant
  • Reactivate tenant

These blocks add support for the deactivation, and eventual deletion of tenants from Qlik Cloud. For further information, refer to the delete tenant changelog.

Review how to get started with the Platform Operations connector.

Minimum and maximum values have been added (which were already restricted in the implementation details) for the limit parameter in the /audits endpoint.

  • minimum: 1 (minimum value can be set as limit parameter)
  • maximum: 100 (maximum value can be set as limit parameter)
  • default: 10 (default value of the limit parameter if not set)

Example:

curl --get --location 'https://<TENANT>.<REGION>.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/audits?limit=<LIMIT>' ^
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>'

Review the Audits API specification for further information.

New query parameters have been added to the Reloads API, giving you additional flexibility in monitoring and managing analytics reloads in your tenant.

Additions:

  • filter - allows you to filter on status and partial with equals (eq).
  • log - allows you to turn off the log that is usually returned with every API call to improve response time.

To filter on a single status (RELOADING),and exclude the logs:

curl --get --location 'https://<TENANT>.<REGION>.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/reloads' ^
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' ^
--header 'Content-type: application/json' ^
--header 'Accept: application/json' ^
--data-urlencode 'filter=status eq "RELOADING"' ^
--data-urlencode 'log=false'

To filter on multiple statuses (QUEUED and RELOADING), and exclude the logs:

curl --get --location 'https://<TENANT>.<REGION>.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/reloads' ^
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' ^
--header 'Content-type: application/json' ^
--header 'Accept: application/json' ^
--data-urlencode 'filter=(status eq "RELOADING") OR (status eq "QUEUED")' ^
--data-urlencode 'log=false'

Review the Reloads API specification for further information.

Tenants are the highest level of logical separation in Qlik Cloud available to Qlik customers. When using a multitenant entitlement, you can now programatically delete tenants via API.

If you are a customer with a single tenant entitlement, contact Qlik for assistance with deleting your tenant.

The most common use case for tenant deletion is in an OEM context where you create a tenant per end customer and need to offboard customers and delete their tenant as their contracts with you come to an end. To learn more the lifecycle of OEM in Qlik Cloud, review the Platform Operations tutorial series.

Important! Deleting a tenant is a permanent action. Neither you nor Qlik can restore data from the tenant after it has been purged from Qlik Cloud. Use this capability with caution.

Deactivate & reactivate a tenant

To deactivate a tenant and schedule it for deletion in 15 days, send this request:

curl -L "https://register.eu.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/tenants/TENANT_ID/actions/deactivate" ^
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" ^
-H "qlik-confirm-hostname: my-tenant.eu.qlikcloud.com" ^
-H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
-H "Accept: application/json"
-d "{\"purgeAfterDays\": 15}"

This response indicates that the tenant is in a deactivated state:

{
    "id": "zWbTyyJ5lzYLnm9taTD49ja4JVdNKBUM",
    "status": "disabled",
    "estimatedPurgeDate": "2023-07-30T14:01:22.000Z"
}

To reactivate a tenant before the estimated purge date, send this request:

curl -L "https://register.eu.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/tenants/TENANT_ID/actions/reactivate" ^
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" ^
-H "qlik-confirm-hostname: my-tenant.eu.qlikcloud.com" ^
-H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
-H "Accept: application/json"

This response indicates that the tenant is in an activated state:

{
    "id": "zWbTyyJ5lzYLnm9taTD49ja4JVdNKBUM",
    "status": "active"
}

Qlik-Cli v2.22.0

feat: Intake of the brands API

This API allows you to manage the branding of a tenant. For example, you can customize logos and favicons with your brand. You can activate this by using the command:

qlik brand create --name=<name> --file-logo=<logo.png> --file-favIcon=<icon.ico>
qlik brand activate <brand-id>

feat: Intake of group-create

The group-create command is a command used for creating groups. It can be used for managing access control for multiple users at the same time. For example, you can create a group called developers with the "Developer" role assigned.

qlik group create --name=developers --assignedRoles='[{"name":"Developer"}]'

You can get a complete list of roles using the command qlik role ls. --assignedRoles accepts either an ID or the name of a role.

feat: Tenant-edit command

The tenant-edit command now allows you to update your tenant-configuration in a command-line-editor of your choice.

  • docs: Edit-commands are no longer experimental
  • docs: The identity-provider commands are no longer experimental
  • fix: Bug when providing required body parameters from a file using the --file flag.

Say hello to the new Example section on qlik.dev. This new section provides you with quick access to commonly used code snippets and scripts you can adapt and integrate into your projects.

Change to ratelimit handling

When making API calls against Qlik's APIs, you are subject to ratelimits as described on our ratelimits page.

Previously, hitting a ratelimit during an automation would cause a failure of the automation, but new handling has been added that has changed the behaviour to respect the retry-after header returned when the ratelimit is hit.

This addition means you can remove any custom ratelimit handling implemented within your automations. It should now result in automations, which were failing previously, running until completion.

This change applies to all blocks on the Platform Operations connector.

Block updates

The following blocks have been updated in the connector:

  • Update auto create group settings - this has been updated to ensure that the value of both autoCreateGroups and syncIdpGroups are toggled on each call. This is to ensure parity with the behavior in the management console. If you wish to change these independently in future, use the Raw API call block.

Review how to get started with the Platform Operations connector.

This changelog provides 60 days notice of deprecation and removal of some undocumented attributes from the response of the /v1/licenses/assignments endpoint.

Qlik is making changes to ensure removal of user names and other identifiable information from APIs where the data is available via other, more appropriate APIs.

For more information on Qlik's API policies, please refer to the API policy page.

Deprecation of response attributes

The attributes name and userId will be removed from the response from the /v1/licenses/assignments endpoint. These are optional, undocumented attributes that can be set when assigning a license. It will still be possible to use these attributes in the API filter.

Note: The endpoint will continue to return the user's subject as their primary identifier. Qlik recommends not using personally identifiable information (PII) in the subject attribute in Qlik Cloud. A good practice is to use system generated GUIDs to uniquely identify users.

When set on a license assignment, the response currently looks like:

{
    "subject": "QLIKBOT\\f0e92f326ac77427df155940fec39e6b",
    "type": "professional",
    "userId": "637390ec6541614d3a88d6c1",
    "name": "EU OAuth Client",
    "excess": false,
    "created": "2023-06-29T12:24:34.639Z"
}

After deprecation, the endpoint will return:

{
    "subject": "QLIKBOT\\f0e92f326ac77427df155940fec39e6b",
    "type": "professional",
    "excess": false,
    "created": "2023-06-29T12:24:34.639Z"
}

If you need to look up the userId and name, you can retrieve these using the list users endpoint.

curl --get --location 'https://<tenant>.<region>.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/users' ^
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' ^
--header 'Content-type: application/json' ^
--header 'Accept: application/json' ^
--data-urlencode 'filter=subject eq "QLIKBOT\\f0e92f326ac77427df155940fec39e6b"'

This will return the full user information for the user with that subject, including the most current name and userId (returned as id) attributes.

{
   "data":[
      {
         "id":"637390ec6541614d3a88d6c2",
         "tenantId":"BL4tTJ4S7xrHTcq0zQxQrJ5qB1_Q6cSo",
         "clientId":"f0e92f326ac77427df155940fec39e6b",
         "status":"active",
         "subject":"qlikbot\\f0e92f326ac77427df155940fec39e6a",
         "name":"EU OAuth Client",
         ...

For more information on the license assignment endpoint, please review the v1/licenses/assignments specification.

Typescript 0.23.0: Browser friendly library

⚠️ Breaking - in this release all the data structures are now type aliases previously they were data classes

// previously
import { GenericSheetProperties } from '@qlik/sdk';
const sheetProperties = new GenericSheetProperties({...});

// now
import type { GenericSheetProperties } from '@qlik/sdk';
const sheetProperties: GenericSheetProperties = {...};

This change reduces drastically the bundle size of the library making it more optimized for browsers.

  • feat: notes settings API
import { Notes } from '@qlik/sdk';
const notes = new Notes({...});
await notes.setSettings({ toggledOn: true });
  • feat: transport API email-config

// create a sheet
const sheet = await app.createSheet({ qMetaDef:{ title: 'temp sheet' } });
// change owner of the sheet
await app.changeOwner(sheet.id, { ownerId: anotherUser.id });
  • feat: groups API - create groups

You can now create groups using directly the groups API

import Qlik from '@qlik/cli';

const { roles, groups } = new Qlik({...});
// fetch the tenant admin role
const [ tenantAdminRole ] = await roles.getRoles({ filter: 'name eq "TenantAdmin"' });
// create group named avengers with tenant admin role
await groups.create({name: 'avengers', assignedRoles:[{id: tenantAdminRole.id}]})
// fetch the groups
const groups = await groups.getGroups({ filter: 'name eq "avengers"' });
  • feat: users API - invite user
const users = new Users({...});
// resend an invitation in swedish
await users.invite({ invitees:[{ email: 'tom.hanks@qlik.com', resend: true, language: 'sv' }] });
  • fix: allow using limit from query param for pagination

Python 0.15.0: API updates

  • feat: users API - update
qlik = Qlik(config=config)
# resend an invite to a user in your teanant
qlik.users.invite(
    InviteRequest(
        invitees=[{email: "tom_hanks@qlik.com", language: "sv", resend: true}]
    )
)
  • feat: groups API - updates

You can now create a groups:

qlik = Qlik(config=config)
tenant_admin_role = qlik.roles.get_roles(filter='name eq "TenantAdmin"')
# create group
data = GroupPostSchema(name="avengers", assignedRoles={ "id": tenant_admin_role[0].id})
new_group = qlik.groups.create(data=data)
# delete group
group = qlik.groups.get(groupId=new_group.id)
group.delete()
  • feat: apps API - new features

  • feat: transport API email-config
config = Config(
    host=self.base_url, auth_type=AuthType.APIKey, api_key=self.api_key
)
q = Qlik(config=config)
email_config = q.transports.get_email_config()
validation = q.transports.validate()
  • fix: handle properties with leading numbers
  • fix: response type as requests.response

To support customers who wish to manage their users, groups, and tenants via API, Qlik is releasing new and updated APIs to support common tasks such as:

  • Setting the tenant name or tenant alias
  • Updating tenant auto assignment flags for new users joining the tenant
  • Patching assigned roles by name to users and groups. Previously this could only be done for users, and required the use of the role ID
  • Seeding groups to the tenant to set up access control prior to user logins. This is important when using Identity Providers other than Azure AD configured with SCIM

There are also important updates to group validation checks that any organization using groups via their Identity Provider should review.

New tenants endpoints

Qlik Cloud now limits the length of group names to 256 characters. New groups with names that exceed the character limit will not be created in the tenant. Any pre-existing groups within Qlik Cloud are unaffected by this change.

Users attempting to log in with a group that exceeds the name length limit will be permitted but the new group will be ignored.

Maximum number of groups per tenant

Qlik Cloud now limits each tenant to 10,000 active groups. Upon reaching the limit, no new groups can be created in the tenant until existing groups are removed by an administrator.

Users attempting to log in with a new group that exceeds the maximum number of groups limit will be permitted but the new group will be ignored.

The Platform Operations connector is a connector for Qlik Application Automation that makes deploying and managing tenants in Qlik Cloud possible without code.

No-code Qlik Platform Operations tutorials

The Platform Operations tutorial series demonstrates how to create, configure, and hydrate tenants in Qlik Cloud using APIs and other pro-code tooling.

A new tutorial series shows how to use the Qlik Platform Operations connector for Qlik Application Automation to achieve similar tenant creation, configuration, and hydration activities using the Application Automation no-code experience.

This series introduces basic concepts related to the connector, it's configuration, and some of the things it helps you to achieve in Qlik Cloud for single or multiple tenant deployments.

Review the tutorial series to get started.

Data files API tutorials

Qlik Cloud allows you to upload or create certain file types for storing data within spaces. These files will appear in the DataFiles data connection when using the data load editor or data manager, and will also appear in the Cloud Hub catalog.

This tutorial series is all about data files, how to create them, update them, and delete them in bulk. You'll also learn how they relate to other assets in Qlik Cloud, such as Analytics apps, data connections, data stores, data assets, and data sets.

See the full API reference, or review the tutorial series.

Qlik-Cli (v2.20.4)

feat: Added qlik app insight-analyse command for Insight Advisor analyses. Documentation for the API can be found here

feat: Added command for changing owner of an object. Documentation for the API can be found here

# Change owner for a specific object
qlik app object change-owner --appId <app-id> --objectId <object-id> --ownerId <owner-id>

feat: add publish & unpublish commands for Bookmarks, Dimensions and Measures.

# Publish a bookmark
qlik app bookmark publish <bookmark-id> --app <app-id>
# Unpublish a bookmark
qlik app bookmark unpublish <bookmark-id> --app <app-id>
# Publish a dimension
qlik app dimension publish <dimension-id> --app <app-id>
# Unpublish a dimension
qlik app dimension unpublish <dimension-id> --app <app-id>
# Publish a measure
qlik app measure publish <measure-id> --app <app-id>
# Unpublish a measure
qlik app measure unpublish <measure-id> --app <app-id>

fix: qlik context commands are no longer experimental

fix: qlik-cli is now based on Golang v1.20.4 to resolve security vulnerabilities.

fix: added missing body parameters for qlik qrs commands. This issue was reported on qlik-oss here

v0.22.0: Sense Client Objects & Mixins

  • feat: Sense Client Object Defaults support in the SDK

    Added support for Sense Client Objects, users can now easily do operations like:

// fetch the list sheets
const sheetList = await app.getSheets();
// get individual sheet and do operation on it
const sheet =  await app.getSheet(sheetList[0].id);
await sheet.publish()

and more:

// fetch the list fields
const fieldList = await app.getFields();
// fetch fthe list of fields (including system fields)
const fieldList = await app.getFields({ qFieldListDef: { qShowSystem: true } });
// listen to current selections
const currentSelectionsObj = await app.getCurrentSelectionsObject();
await currentSelectionsObj.getLayout();
currentSelectionsObj.on('changed', () => {
  // selections have been toggled
});
// create masterObjects & publish
const createdMasterObject = await app.createMasterobject({ qMetaDef: { title, description } });
// configure app properties
await app.setAppProperties({sheetTitleBgColor: '#ffcf03', sheetTitleColor: '#ffcf03'});
// list bookmarks easily etc...
const bookmarkList = await app.getBookmarks();
  • feat: enigma mixins are now enabled by default non raw rpc calls
// ex: to disable the bandwidth-reducing delta protocol you now need to set it to false
await app.open( { delta: false} );

v0.21.1: Maintenance Release

  • fix: Exclude nebula example from dep specs

    Excluding nebula example as it uses production non-approved dependencie parcel and nebula/stardust

v0.21.0: New Features and Bugfixes

  • fix: Handle property number name

    Added leading underscore to property names starting with number This fixes the problem with groups blocking updating of specs

  • fix: Throw engine message error Added a response error interceptor to throw a descriptive error message received from engine

  • fix: Replaced Buffer to btoa in browser build

  • chore: Refactor env_vars

  • chore: Use apiResponseInterceptor and add nebula integration test

    added empty once function next to the on-listener function - this should be a proper once function set properties in the open function: id, handle, type, genericType use apiResponseInterceptor - to set properties on result throw error from apiResponseInterceptor similar to enigma, should this throw an enigma error? wrap constructor for loop in if-isArray because of a non array response - needs investigation add browser integration test for nebula app using cypress

  • chore: Added once event listener Once event listeners are called only once on event and removed from listeners

hypercube.once('changed', () => {...});
  • chore: Allow event listeners to be async

    Async functions can be added as event listeners

hypercube.on('changed', async () => {...});
  • chore: Keep reserved keywords as class members (delete)

Language reserved words are modified only while using as formal parameters and kept as it is in class members which allows parsing request body with reserved words as keys to class object without loosing any fields from request body

Apps API

The apps API provides access to create and manage Qlik Sense and QlikView apps in Qlik Cloud.

To support Qlik customers migrating from Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-Managed to Qlik Cloud, a new endpoint at /v1/apps/{appId}/objects/{objectId}/actions/change-owner has been added. The new endpoint supports changing the owner of app objects in Qlik Sense apps.

This means that administrators can now migrate Qlik Sense apps with no loss of private or community content, ensuring that your users have no interruption in access to all of the objects from Client-Managed, including bookmarks, stories, sheets, snapshots, and more.

A full tutorial demonstrating the migration of an app and reassignment of object ownership is available here.

Note: You must own the object to change it's ownership to another user.

  • POST/v1/apps/{appId}/objects/{$objectId}/actions/change-owner : Change owner of object
curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/apps/{appId}/objects/{objectId}/actions/change-owner" \
 -X POST \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>" \
 -H "Content-type: application/json" \
 -d '{"ownerId":"string"}'

See full API reference here, or review the full tutorial here.

Brands API

For Qlik customers deploying an OEM use case, Qlik Cloud can be branded to improve alignment with your own portal, software, or brand, reducing friction for your end users as they swap between experiences.

The brands API allows you to provide a custom logo and favicon to help enhance this user experience for your users.

The new API at brands supports the creation and management of brands in the tenant.

Important: Use of the brands API is permitted for OEM use cases only.

  • POST/v1/brands : Create a new brand
curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/brands" \
 -X POST \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>" \
 -H "Content-type: multipart/form-data" \
 -F "logo=@/path/to/file" \
 -F "styles=@/path/to/file" \
 -F "favIcon=@/path/to/file"

See full API reference here, or review the full tutorial here.

Users API - Invite

The Users API provides you with the ability to create, manage, and delete users from Qlik Cloud tenants. Previously, you were only able to add existing Qlik Cloud users to the tenant using a POST request to users with a valid user subject.

The new endpoint at /v1/users/actions/invite supports the addition of new and existing users to your tenant using the email address of the new user.

Users new to Qlik Cloud will receive an email inviting them to register a Qlik Account, and existing users will be prompted to log in with their existing Qlik Account credentials.

Note: Inviting only works for Qlik Account logins. If you are using your own Identity Provider and wish to pre-load users into the tenant, you should leverage Qlik Cloud SCIM capabilities or send a POST request with the desired subject to create the user.

  • POST/v1/users/actions/invite : Invites one or more users to Qlik Cloud using their email.
curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/users/actions/invite" \
 -X POST \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>" \
 -H "Content-type: application/json" \
 -d '{"invitees":[{"name":"John Smith","email":"john.smith@example.com","resend":true,"language":"en"}]}'

See full API reference here.

Qlik-Cli (v2.19.0)

feat: commands for managing script versions in an app

# List script versions in an app
qlik app script version ls --appId=<appId>

# Create a version of a script
qlik app script version create --versionMessage="Version1" --script="Load RecNo() as N autogenerate(100);" --appId=<appId>

# Get the current version of a script
qlik app script version get current --appId=<appId>

# Get a specific version of a script. The scriptId is returned when listing script versions.
qlik app script version get <scriptId> --appId=<appId>

# Remove a specific version of a script
qlik app script version rm <scriptId> --appId=<appId>

feat: additional support for rows and json output for the qlik app eval command.

# By default the eval command will only return maximum 20 rows of data
qlik app eval <expression> --app=<appId>

# If additional data is wanted the number of rows can now be specified using the --rows parameter
qlik app eval <expression> --rows=5000 --appId=<appId>

# It is also possible to get the hypercube data pages in raw json
qlik app eval <expression> --rows=5000 --appId=<appId> --json

chore: Documentation updates:

Typescript SDK (v0.19.1)

New APIs (Questions, Audits, App Scripts)

  // Ask question regarding the reloaded data
  const question = 'What is the count of Prime?';
  const answer = await qlik.questions.ask({ text: question, app: { id: app.attributes.id } });
  // Get the list of event sources
  const sources = await qlik.audits.getSources();
  • feat added support for listing app script versions
  // saves a script with version called `v1`
  const script = 'Load RecNo() as N autogenerate(100);';
  await app.createScript({
    script,
    versionMessage: 'v1',
  });
  // retrieves all versions of the app script
  const { scripts } = await app.getScriptVersions();

Features

  • feat: Added support for registering an event listener for object changed and closed events.

    If an object handle is invalidated for instance when the data model has changed, then the handle will be part of a change array in the response for the method that caused the change.

    It is now possible to register a listener for an object, where onChanged is a custom defined function.

    hypercube.on('changed', onChanged);

    Handles can also be closed in a session if they are no longer valid. This can happen if for instance you have a handle for a field and the data model is changed/reloaded.

    field.on('closed', onClosed);

Improvements

  • fix: improvements for handling fetch depending on environment

    The global.fetch function is assumed to be available, and if not now an error will be returned. If it is not available then it can be added:

    1. For ES6-Modules and node-fetch you can use global.fetch = (args) => import('node-fetch').then(({default: fetch}) => fetch(args));
    2. For CommonJS and cross-fetch you can use global.fetch = require('cross-fetch');
  • fix: Handling of websocket close errors. If an error code is set when the websocket is closed, the SDK will now return an error containing the code and reason for being closed.

    // in case of an socket error the err will contain a `closeCode` and a `closeMsg`
    session.on('socket-error', (data) => {
        err = data;
    });

⚠️ Breaking change

Operations on sub-resources ex: get_reloads_log were previously generated as class static methods and required you to have the resource Id as parameter - now fixed.

public async getReloadsLog(reloadId: string): Promise<ArrayBuffer> {...}
// previously requiring appId
public async getReloadsLog(appId: string, reloadId: string): Promise<ArrayBuffer> {...}

This change affects the following resources: Apps, Automations, Collections, Extensions, Spaces, Themes and Weebhooks.

Please note that the Platform SDK packages are early development releases. So, please expect breaking changes as it updates and stabilize.

OAuth 2.0 Authorization

OAuth is a standard security protocol for authorization and delegation. It allows third party applications to access API resources without disclosing the end-user credentials.

Qlik Cloud supports OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code and Client Credentials flows. The OAuth client can obtain an authorization code or send client credentials header to exchange it with an access token that can be used to access Qlik Cloud APIs.

Alongside this delivery you will also get OAuth support for tools and libraries.

Full tutorial OAuth single page applications with nebula.js can be found here

Transport API

The Transport API is the service responsible for managing notification channels and email configurations for the sending of system notifications, as well as updates from analytics services in the hub, such as data alerts and subscriptions.

These notifications provide users with information about events such as failed reloads, users being added to spaces, data alerts being triggered, and regular subscription snapshots being sent to subscribers. Note that any workflows running in application automation (including the report blocks) will use their own SMTP/ email configuration - only system notifications from application automation will be sent via the transport API.

The endpoints in this release provide the ability to configure and review the email server configuration for this service, including the following examples:

  • GET/v1/transports/email-config : Returns the email configuration for a given tenant id.
curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/transports/email-config" \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>""
  • PATCH/v1/transports/email-config : Patch the email configuration for a given tenant id.
curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/transports/email-config" \
 -X PATCH \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>" \
 -H "Content-type: application/json" \
 -d
 '{
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/username",
    "value": "New name"
  }'
  • DELETE/v1/transports/email-config: Deletes email configuration for a given tenant id.
curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/transports/email-config" \
 -X DELETE \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>" \
  • POST/v1/transports/email-config/actions/send-test-email : Send a test mail with the supplied email info(subject, body, recipient).

 -X POST \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>" \
 -H "Content-type: application/json" \
 -d '{
     "body":"string",
     "subject":"string",
     "recipient":"string"
     }'
  • POST/v1/transports/email-config/actions/validate : Returns the isValid value for the email configuration for the tenant. Will return false if no email configuration exists.
curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/transports/email-config/actions/validate" \
 -X POST \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>" \
  • POST/v1/transports/email-config/actions/verify-connection: Verifies connection to email server for tenant provided via JWT.

Beginning November 1, 2022, Qlik is enforcing rate limits to API requests on Qlik Cloud REST APIs. This means any API request originating to a REST API endpoint on Qlik Cloud is subject to rejection if the number of requests to an endpoint exceeds the allowed amount in a specified duration on that endpoint.

NOTE: Read on to learn more about how you may be impacted by API rate limits.

Platform SDK package

As more & more developers integrate & embed Qlik Sense, the need to simplify the development process is paramount. Announcing the new Qlik Platform SDK - a suite of tools, libraries, and documentation that simplifies building high-quality and performant applications on top of the Qlik Sense Platform. The idea is to let developers extend solutions without the need to develop them from scratch.

And the best part? The capabilities of the SDK comes in two programming languages - TypeScript & Python. With TypeScript, you will have improved definitions and enhanced developer experience with modern IDEs and the Python package opens up a whole new scope for the Python developer community to leverage the power of Qlik Cloud APIs.

Looking to get started? Here are the package links:

Please note that the Platform SDK packages are early development releases. So, please expect breaking changes as it updates and stabilize.

Engine RPC

Two new methods are added to the Engine RPC.

  • GetFieldsResourceIds that returns a list of resource ids (QRI) for fields that belongs to the data model. Key fields (that belongs to multiple tables), returns one resource identifier per table. Read more here

  • GetFieldsFromExpression that retrives any fields from an expression. Learn more about this here

nebula.js updates

The nebula stardust package now comes with TypeScript definitions. It references the Qlik's Engine definitions published at @types/qlik-engineapi. This will enable developers to take advantage of code autocompletion, verifying correct types, etc. within modern IDE's.

a screenshot of autocompletion in VS codea screenshot showing types in VS code

Data Connections API

Two new endpoints are added to the Data Connections API.

  • data-connections/actions/delete that deletes multiple connections and is only available to Admins.

  • data-connections/actions/update that updates multiple connections and is only available to Admins.

Learn more about this here

Reloads API

The following endpoints are new to the Reloads API.

  • GET /reloads: Reloads allows for triggering reloads of apps to refresh its data. Traditionally this has only been possible through the JSON-RPC websocket API, but can now also be done by using this REST API.

  • GET /reloads/{reloadId}: Finds and returns a reload record.

  • POST /reloads: Reloads an app specified by an app ID.

Read more here

Reporting Service API

The new Reporting Service API provides the ability to generate reports in PNG, PDF, and xlsx formats programmatically. Reports content could be either a single visualization, an entire sheet, a story or a composition of sheets.

Comprises two endpoints:

  • POST/reports: Queues a new report request generation
  • GET/reports/{id}/status: Gets report request processing status

Learn more here

2.6.0

  • New: Added qlik edit command - you can now easily update resources without worrying about the complicated JSON Patch calculations. Based on the EDITOR environment variable, the edit command starts your preferred editor automatically and once your changes are saved, all PUT/PATCH operations are automatically done.

    *If you want to see communication details for your edit call, you can use
    the `--verbose` flag. It displays all HTTP operations that are
    performed including payloads for requests.*
    
    example:
    
    ```bash
    qlik webhook edit <webhookId>
    # this command launches your preferred editor containing the resource in json format
    # changing, for example, the description parameter is the equivalent of doing
    # a patch request with payload:
    # [
    #   {
    #       "op": "replace",
    #       "path": "/description",
    #       "value": "my new description"
    #   }
    # ]
    ```
  • New: Added qlik spec get provides more detailed information about added external specs, most notably the path to the added specification.

  • New: The auto-generated usage documentation now get automatically published to

    qlik-cli upon new releases.
  • Fix: Improved robustness in handling of array subtypes - missing types now return errors. Any included schema is thus required to have proper types defined. Previously, it defaulted to string if the type was missing.

A new tutorial for authorizing sessions to Qlik Cloud using JSON web tokens (JWT) is now available on qlik.dev named

Implement JWT Authorization.

You can learn more by clicking the link preceding or reviewing the online live example qlik-cloud-jwt.

The latest release of qlik.dev features a new documentation section for qlik-cli. Navigate to the

qlik-cli to learn more.

Here's a sample of what you can expect with this new documentation:

Progress bar for Downloads

The latest version of qlik-cli also shows an animated progress during app download.

Spinner feedback

A new spinner feedback is added when users are waiting for server response using qlik-cli.

The latest version of qlik-cli adds resumable uploads for large Qlik Sense applications and bug fixes to improve overall usability. Here are the updates.

New feature highlights

Import large Qlik Sense apps

You can now upload large apps to SaaS tenants using qlik-cli using the qlik app import command. Use the --resumable switch to instruct the cli to handle the upload as a large file.

When you upload an app using qlik-cli, a nice animated bar appears displaying the progress.

File piping

File piping allows you to combine commands where the output of one may be used as the input of the next command you issue.

Command aliases

Aliases enable you to create shorthand commands for hard to remember long commands. For example, say you run a command frequently to find the guid of an application in your tenant, $(qlik item ls --resourceType app --name. You can use the alias command to create a shortcut it into something like qlik getAppGuid consumer+sales. This returns the complete JSON object for the consumer+sales resource in the items collection.

Limit flag added for listing apps

The --limit switch enables you to return a number of app resource objects per page ranging from 1 to 100.

Identifying experimental flags and switches in commands

Command switches and flags that are experimental features are labeled as such for your information.

Fixes worth mentioning

Temporary Upload Service

Use of the temporary upload service in qlik-cli caused problems with large app uploads and resumability. This problem has been fixed and implemented through the resumable switch in the qlik app import command.

Updated response from reload get command

In prior CLI versions, qlik reload get was not sending a correct response. This issue has been resolved.
