Qlik Sense REST API connector

Hi, I'm trying to connect the Netsuite with oauth 1.0 via REST connector from Qlik Sense Cloud. I can successfully load the data via postman with oauth 1.0 and "Add parameters to header" option. I'm trying do the same in Qlik Sense with query Header parameters but with no success (error with "http protocol error 401 unauthorized: Requested resource required authentication" appeared). Does anybody know if this is possible and how to fix it, how to "turn on" an authorization and set the header parameters correctly?

Thank you.

I don't think Qliksense allows oauth

Some authentication requires a multi-step process.  You can use WITH CONNECTION () and supply URL, Headers, Body, etc.....

Below is an example of capturing the cookie token from an NTLM authorization.

 

See also: https://www.oauth.com/oauth2-servers/device-flow/token-request/

 

Set vHost = '127.0.0.1';
Set vPort = '4993';

LIB CONNECT TO 'REST Login'; //Setup LIB to URL auth

//Perform a GET call to NPrinting NTLM login API RestConnectorMasterTable:
SQL SELECT
"Set-Cookie",
"__KEY__response_header"
FROM JSON "_response_header" PK "__KEY__response_header";
[_response_header]:
LOAD [Set-Cookie] AS [Set-Cookie]
RESIDENT RestConnectorMasterTable
WHERE NOT IsNull([__KEY__response_header]);
//Extracts session cookie from the API response
let vCookieRaw = Peek('Set-Cookie',0,'_response_header');
let vCookie = TextBetween('$(vCookieRaw)','Secure,','Path=/',2);
DROP TABLE RestConnectorMasterTable;

RestAppsMasterTable:
SQL SELECT
"__KEY_data"
, (SELECT
"id",
"name", "__FK_items"
FROM "items" FK "__FK_items")
FROM JSON (wrap off) "data" PK "__KEY_data"
WITH CONNECTION( URL "https://$(vHost):$(vPort)/api/v1/apps", HTTPHEADER "cookie" "$(vCookie)" );
[apps_items]:
LOAD [id] AS [apps_appId],
[name] AS [apps_appName]
RESIDENT RestAppsMasterTable
WHERE NOT IsNull([__FK_items]);

DROP TABLE RestAppsMasterTable;

I've posted an example of OAuth with Jira to this thread, which may also help:
