Expanding Qlik Sense

Introduction

You can integrate Qlik Sense in your own software using the Qlik Sense APIs and SDKs. It can, for example, be integrated as a:

  • Windows application
  • Web-based application

You can also leverage the Qlik associative engine in your applications, as well as automate common tasks and build your own client.

Relevant APIs

There are several APIs and SDKs that help you integrate Qlik Sense into your own software.

Qlik Engine JSON API

The Qlik Engine JSON API is a WebSocket protocol that uses JSON to pass information between the Qlik associative engine and the clients. It works on any platform and with any programming language that includes a WebSocket library.

You can use it when you:

  • Create your own custom client
  • Automate common tasks
  • Develop a platform independently
