Changelog

A new release of qlik-cli has been published, which expands the set of covered APIs to include most published REST APIs, removes some unused endpoints, and simplifies payload property configuration.

New commands

qlik-cli now supports the following commands:

• qlik assistant - Assistants provide a chat interface for asking questions and getting personalized, relevant answers for Qlik Answers.
• qlik condition - Conditions are used by features such as data alerting and subscriptions to determine when action should be taken, based on data in a Qlik app.
• qlik data-alert - Supports chart sharing, chart monitoring and alerting features. The legacy sharing APIs refer to chart sharing and chart monitoring, which is a feature that allows the user to send an email with an embedded chart either manually (chart sharing) or in a recurring manner (chart monitoring). It also stores the history related to these actions. The alerting/data-alerts APIs support the alerting feature, where a user is able to create alerts that trigger notifications in case a condition in the dataset of an app is fulfilled.
• qlik data-asset - Data assets are part of the catalog in Qlik Cloud. A data asset is a member of a data store, and may contain multiple data sets.
• qlik data-connection - Data connections are used by analytics apps and gateways to connect to external data sources. Credentials are stored in data-credentials.
• qlik data-credential - Data credentials are the stored credentials leveraged by the data-connections service to connect to external data sources.
• qlik data-quality - API for triggering data quality computations and retrieving global results to assess the quality of your datasets.
• qlik data-set - Data sets are part of the catalog in Qlik Cloud. A data set is a member of a data asset.
• qlik data-source - Lists data sources available on the tenant for the creation of analytics data connections.
• qlik data-store - Data stores are part of the catalog in Qlik Cloud. A data store may contain one or more data stores, which in turn may contain multiple data sets.
• qlik di-project - Data integration projects are containers for data tasks and provide the context for building, monitoring, and controlling data integration pipelines.
• qlik encryption - Tenants in Qlik Cloud can be encrypted with a key you provide via a supported KMS. This API allows you to configure and manage encryption keys.
• qlik knowledgebase - Knowledgebases are collections of individual data sources, that are indexed for use in generating responses to user questions via Assistants for Qlik Answers.
• qlik ml - The Machine Learning API allows you to generate profile insights to analyze datasets, create and manage machine learning experiments, deploy models, and run predictions.
• qlik notification - Notifications are resources representing the various notifications that notification-prep can render.
• qlik report - Reports are downloadable assets generated from data in analytics applications.
• qlik report-template - Create and manage report templates.
• qlik sharing-task - For scheduled capabilities such as reports, data alerts, subscriptions, and more, sharing tasks define when these tasks execute, and tie together the resource definition with any conditions on execution.
• qlik task - API for managing tasks and task chains in Qlik Cloud. The requesting user needs the “reload” permission on the target resource to use this set of endpoints. A tenant administrator can use GET /v1/tasks and DELETE /v1/tasks/{id} to perform administrative actions, even without the “reload” permission.
• qlik ui-config - Pinned links are administrator-defined URLs which appear for all users under the More button in the global navigation menu.
• qlik web-notification - Web notifications are resource representing a user’s notifications.

Commands removed

The following unused commands have been removed and are no longer supported:

• qlik data-file space-stats
• qlik identity-provider auth-secrets
• qlik note settings create - Use qlik note settings update or qlik note settings edit instead.
• qlik user metadata - The underlying endpoint has been removed. Use qlik role ls instead.

Extended flag support for payload properties

qlik-cli now fully supports the use of flags for all properties of a payload, instead of plain JSON. A common pain point this addresses is patch operations, which usually take an array of JSON-objects.

For example, you can now do:

qlik space patch SPACE_ID --op replace --path /description --value "New and improved!"

In this example, the --op, --path, and --value flags can be used repeatedly and will then correspond with that property of the nth object. For example, a second --op flag would set the op property of the second object.
