Qlik Sense and Smartsheet - qliksense

Can we connect online interface of Qlik Sense to Smartsheet? If yes, can the data be refreshed automatically in regular intervals? If no, is there a suggested alternative to Smartsheet that can connect to Qlik and refresh automatically.
Looking for a platform wherein we could create custom data input templates for multiple stakeholders and connect it to a Qlik Sense dashboard

I'm not familiar with Qlik Sense, but a quick look at the Smartsheet docs shows that there's a data connector available that enables you to connect Smartsheet with Qlik Sense: https://smartsheet-platform.github.io/odbc-docs/#qlik-sense.
Additionally, a quick Google search for Qlik Sense Smartsheet returns several results from https://community.qlik.com that describe others trying to achieve the same thing.

Smartsheet provide full REST API https://smartsheet-platform.github.io/api-docs/#authentication-and-access-tokens. In qlik Sense you need prepare connections by using rest api connector https://help.qlik.com/en-US/connectors/Subsystems/REST_connector_help/Content/Connectors_REST/Create-REST-connection/Create-REST-connection.htm .
First make post request, extract token. Next use token to make your get request to the data.

how do I call salesforce APEX From rest api

I find tons of articles explaining how to call rest apis from APEX - but I'm accessing salesforce from an integration system using the Salesforce REST API, and want to it the other way around.
ie -
I've found functionality (record merging) - that is not available from the rest API, but IS available from apex. Is there any way to run an apex statement or script from the rest API?
NOTE: I'm aware that the functionality also available from the SOAP api, but we really don't want to go near that for various reasons.
you want to REST API endpoints in APEX, so that you can call this endpoint from anywhere, Right? if so then you need to check this article.
After reading above article, you are able to create GET, POST, DELETE endpoint in your Salesforce Org and you can use this endpoints.

qliksense rest api connection to get data out of qliksense

I want to get list of documents available in Qlik sense using rest api. I am trying to use the api url https://url/api/v1/apps/docs to get the list of documents
But this is not working. Is the url correct in getting the documents in qliksense?
Where can I find the details on the url for getting the docs? I have checked the Qlik website for rest documentation but could not get the details what I am looking for.
Thanks
Not sure what your use case is but will recommend using Qlik Repository Service API to get list of the apps. The url in your question looks like an Engine REST API endpoints but its non-existing in the endpoints list.
Repositository API is a wrapper around the internal PostgreSQL database, which contains all the metadata (list of apps, streams, extensions etc).
List with all Repository API methods can be found at Qlik QRS API reference page.
The Repository API supports few authentication methods
certificates (when using in server-to-server communication. aka backend)
JWT
Header
Session cookie (from the browser)
Have a look at the examples how to test the responses with Postman (few other examples are available there - Powershell, Node.JS, cURL etc.)

General question about SmartSheet API and creating a user interface

My company keeps individual employee schedules. Each employee manages their own schedule. Admin,supervisors and project manager have to go to each sheet and look for the information.
I need to create a system that allows someone to select a date range and skill set then produce a sheet with the information that matches the criteria. I have installed the Python API and worked through a few tutorials.
Now I need to know how to make command buttons, date pickers . . .
A quick read of my search results indicates that this is not part of the Smartsheet API!
Is there a way to do this through the SmartSheet API? Or how would you approach this?
The Smartsheet API enables you to programmatically access data in Smartsheet (i.e., create, read, update, delete data in Smartsheet). This is true for all APIs -- they simply provide a means for you to programmatically access data. You'll need to build the web app's user interface (UI) yourself by using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
Alternatively -- instead of building a custom web application like you've described -- I'd suggest that you look into the possibility of creating Smartsheet Reports that can provide the data you've described. You can create Smartsheet Reports via the Smartsheet UI -- so you wouldn't need to do any programming at all.

Microsoft Access APIs?

I've been digging through Microsoft's API pages (both the REST APIs and the Graph APIs) - but I'm having a hard time finding out if there is any way to access Microsoft Access through an API.
I'd like to be able to make an API call to get like the list of rows in a particular table or query for the list of tables altogether - or, on the flip side, add a row to an existing table. (Edit: I'd like to do this via REST calls and allow users to connect accounts so that many different people could access these things on their own). Does anyone know if this is possible? I'd super appreciate any links to any API docs or examples y'all have ^.^
For reference, I've been looking primarily at these two places:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/overview?view=graph-rest-1.0
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/access/access-home
Access doesn't provide any functionality to directly access the data from a HTTP endpoint (REST API). It can only function as a database(backend) in this scenario and you would need to look into other solutions to get the data from the database and provide it from a HTTP endpoint (REST API).
If you're looking to use Microsoft technologies for this solution, then you can look into ASP.NET Core to provide the Web API functionality.
You'll need the Access Data Provider to be able to access data in a MS Access database, which as far as I know runs only on a Windows OS.

Is it Possible to Externally Pull an Archer Report vi API?

I have written some reports that contain data I'd like to programmatically access via API from an external system. I can't find any documentation or sample code to do so via any one of the 3 APIs. Has anyone used one of Archer's APIs to pull data from a report externally?
Unfortunately, you cannot pull reports via the REST API (yet), you'll have to use the Web Services API via the SearchRecordsbyReport method.
