This tutorial shows how to connect Qlik Sense to Xero using the REST connector to load accounting and financial data for analysis.
Notes:
- Qlik Sense does not have a native Xero connector. The REST connector using the Xero API is the recommended approach.
- You need an Xero account, a registered app in the Xero Developer portal, and valid OAuth 2.0 credentials.
- Log in and open your Qlik Sense app, and click Data load editor from the top menu.
- Click Create new connection in the Data connection panel on the right.
- Select REST from the connector list.
- Enter an Xero API endpoint URL (for example, an invoices or accounts endpoint with your Xero tenant ID).
- In the request headers, add an Authorization header with your OAuth 2.0 Bearer token and an Xero-tenant-id header with your organization ID, then click Test connection to verify the request.
- Click Create to store the connection. You can now access the saved connection, browse the available tables, and select the ones you want to load into your app.
