Updated API – The Data connections API now supports updating credentials and properties
The Data connections API now makes it easier to update connection properties and credentials without needing to delete and recreate connections.
You can use the PATCH /v1/data-connections/{qId}
operation to update most fields returned by
GET /v1/data-connections/{qId}
.
To identify which fields are supported for a given datasource, use GET /v1/data-sources/{dataSourceId}/api-specs
and
review the connectionProperties
object.
PATCH
requests must include an array of operation objects. Each object should contain:
op
: The operation type (add
,replace
, orremove
)path
: The path to the field being updated (for example,/qName
)value
: The new value (required foradd
andreplace
), matching the type of the target field
When updating a connection that uses an OAuth-based datasource, include the qlik-auth-code
header in the request with
a valid authorization code.
The type
query parameter for PATCH /v1/data-connections
now only accepts connectionname
.
The previously supported credentialname
value has been removed.
For more information, see the Data connections API reference and the Data sources API reference.
