python3 -m pip install --upgrade qlik-sdk

Getting started

A good place to start is our examples. Take a look and learn how to authorize and use our REST and RPC clients to access the APIs. If you're in a real hurry, the essence of our examples is shown below.

from qlik_sdk import Auth, AuthType, Config

api_key = "<MY_API_KEY>"
base_url = "<URL_TO_MY_TENANT>" # E.g. https://foo.qlikcloud.eu.com

auth = Auth(Config(host=base_url, auth_type=AuthType.APIKey, api_key=api_key))

# For REST calls: auth.rest
# For RPC calls: auth.rpc

Authentication options

API keys

An API key is a token representing a user in your tenant. Anyone may interact with the platform programmatically using the API key. The token contains the user context, respecting the access control privileges the user has in your tenant. More info can be found on Qlik Dev Portal.

For a step-by-step guide on how to get an API key for your tenant, check this tutorial.

OAuth2

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.

For a step-by-step guide on how to create an OAuth client for your tenant, check Creating and managing OAuth clients

# Authorization
  # Create auth object
  config = Config(
        host='my-tenant.qlikcloud.com',
        auth_type=AuthType.OAuth2,
        client_id='<clientId>',
        client_secret='<clientSecret>',
        redirect_url='<redirectUrl>',
        scope='<scopes>',
    )
  auth = Auth(config=config)

  # for login redirect to authorization uri for OAuth exchange token flow
  # which will call callback endpoint with credentials
  redirect(auth.generate_authorization_url(), code=301)

  # on callback endpoint (redirectUri), exachange the creadentials with token
  auth.authorize(request.full_path)

  # fetch a resource
  user = auth.rest(path="/users/me")

  # refreshing token
  auth.refresh_token()

  # deauthorization
  auth.deauthorize()
