Helper subs that make it easy to use Butler APIs
Butler exposes a REST API that can be called from many different systems and tools, just not Qlik Sense itself.
When it comes to Sense, it’s very doable but not entirely easy to call REST APIs from an app’s load script. Butler comes with a set of subs/functions that wrap the API calls and make it a lot easier and cleaner to call Butler APIs from load scripts.
This page describes those subs.
Test cases
Automated test cases are used to ensure that (mainly) Butler’s REST API works as intended.
