Listing available apps

This topic shows how to list all available Qlik Sense apps. The following example contains all the code you need to make a direct connection to the engine and list the apps. This example requires a client certificate.

Example: List all available apps

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    // locate the client certificate and accept it as trusted
    X509Certificate2 x509 = new X509Certificate2();
    //Create X509Certificate2 object from .pem file.
    byte[] rawData = File.ReadAllBytes(@"C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Exported Certificates\.Local Certificates\client.pem");
    x509.Import(rawData, "Qlik2Run", X509KeyStorageFlags.UserKeySet);
    X509Certificate2Collection certificateCollection = new X509Certificate2Collection(x509);
    //Defining the location as a direct connection to Qlik Sense Server
    //The default portnumber is 4747 but can be customized
    var uri = new Uri("https://server.com:4747");
    ILocation location = SetupConnection(uri);
    location.AsDirectConnection("domain", "user", certificateCollection: certificateCollection);
    DoTask(location);
}

static ILocation SetupConnection(Uri uri)
{
    ILocation location = Qlik.Engine.Location.FromUri(uri);
    return location;
}
static void DoTask(ILocation location)
{
    foreach (IAppIdentifier appIdentifier in location.GetAppIdentifiers())
    {
        Console.WriteLine(appIdentifier.AppName);
    }
    // Keep console window open to see apps
    Console.ReadLine();
}
