REST data sources

The Qlik REST Connector enables Qlik Sense SaaS to efficiently load data into apps from a REST data source. Many web-based data sources expose data through a REST API. The Qlik REST Connector is a generic connector, that is, it is not tailored to a specific REST data source.

There are variations in the way the REST API is implemented by different data sources that use it. Users must learn the requirements of each data source. The Qlik REST Connector provides connection options to accommodate those varied requirements. To help understand how to use those options, documentation for the REST Connector includes use cases that illustrate how to load data from different REST sources.

Setting up selected REST sources for data loading

Using pagination with selected REST sources

To access data, the user must have authorization with current access credentials to the data source. Once a connection to a REST data source has been created, data can be selected from tables available to the user’s account and then loaded into an app where it can be used in visualizations.

Anteckning om informationThis data source is not available in Qlik Sense Business or Qlik Cloud-analys standard.

Accessing REST sources via Qlik Data Gateway – direktåtkomst

The REST connector appears twice in the Create data connection dialog. Once as REST and once as REST (via Direct Access gateway), which is the one you need to select. Qlik Data Gateway – direktåtkomst eliminates the need to open inbound firewall ports, allowing Qlik Sense SaaS applications to securely access firewalled data. If your REST data sources are located behind a firewall and can be accessed via Qlik Data Gateway – direktåtkomst, it is strongly recommended to connect to them via the Direct Access gateway.

Anteckning om informationUsers that need to leverage gateway-enabled data connections must have the Can Consume Data permission for the space in which the gateway resides.

For more information on Qlik Data Gateway – direktåtkomst, see Data gateways.
