# REST APIs Guide

QlikElixir provides comprehensive coverage of Qlik Cloud REST APIs for managing your analytics infrastructure.

## Overview

All REST API modules follow a consistent pattern:

```elixir
# List resources with pagination
{:ok, %{"data" => items}} = Module.list(limit: 20, next: cursor)

# Get a single resource
{:ok, resource} = Module.get(id)

# Create a resource
{:ok, created} = Module.create(%{name: "New Resource"})

# Update a resource
{:ok, updated} = Module.update(id, %{name: "Updated Name"})

# Delete a resource
:ok = Module.delete(id)
```

## Apps API

[`QlikElixir.REST.Apps`](https://hexdocs.pm/qlik_elixir/QlikElixir.REST.Apps.html) | [Qlik API Reference](https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/apps/)

Manage Qlik Sense applications - the core analytics containers.

```elixir
alias QlikElixir.REST.Apps

# List apps
{:ok, %{"data" => apps}} = Apps.list(limit: 50, space_id: "space-123")

# Get app details
{:ok, app} = Apps.get("app-id")

# Create an app
{:ok, app} = Apps.create(%{name: "Sales Dashboard", space_id: "space-123"})

# Copy an app
{:ok, copy} = Apps.copy("app-id", name: "Dashboard Copy", space_id: "space-456")

# Publish to a managed space
{:ok, published} = Apps.publish("app-id", "managed-space-id")

# Export as .qvf binary
{:ok, binary} = Apps.export("app-id")
File.write!("app-backup.qvf", binary)
