Creating an extension connect to a data source

[stats101]

Hi,

Wondering whether it would be possible to write a Qlikview extension to connect to a REST Web service? I'm aware there are already plugins which support this, but we're needing to send multiple queries, and implement some logic around session handling.

Thanks,

You want an extension (client side) or a connector (server side)?

Both are possible and easy (extension easier than connector)

One example of extensions that POSTs data to a Webservice

SQL Writeback from QlikView extension object.

I think we'll need a server side extension. So it would be Data>Publsiher>Server>Desktop.

Please check that extension I´ve linked, could be an starting point

I could write this kind of extension, if you´re not familiar with this feature
