While connecting to zendesk from qlik, I am now facing 401 Error ,though I used same username and password with basic authentication of schema to fetch the data earlier.

In addition to this I tried api_token for authentication in query header but still I am getting the same error. Kindly helpwiththis

Hey there,

A few questions:

1. What endpoint are you calling?
2. Have you confirmed that the API token you are using is still active?
3. Are you base64 encoding your basic auth? 
 
Thanks!

Hi Eric,

1.End points:   api/v2/users.json and api/v2/tickets.json, I am also looking forward to fetch data for some custom objects .Kindly provide help on this.

2.The API token was newly created when I tried to connect ..Any idea on how soon it gets expired?

3 .Yes ,I used basic Authentication ,I got to know zendesk does not supports it..but when ever I try new connection I can successfully establish the connection after refreshing it I encountered error after that.I also tried without basic authentication and based on api_token but its throwing same error.

Is there any chance that we could connect over the call?

Hey Aditee,

Just confirming are you base64 encoding the auth?

Hey there,

Unfortunately it seems that this is most likely related to Qlik's integration or rest api connector. I'd suggest reaching out to them.
