Qlik Sense APIs

Qlik Server-Side Extension Protocol

gRPC/protobuf contract for extending the Qlik Associative Engine with external compute. A plugin implements the qlik.sse.Connector service and the engine calls out to it for scalar, aggregation and tensor functions and for script evaluation, which is how R and Python models are called from a Qlik load script or chart expression.
