Description: ## About
        qsAPI is a client for Qlik Sense QPS and QRS interfaces written in python that provides an environment for managing a Qlik Sense site via programming or interactive console. The module provides a set of commands for viewing and editing configuration settings, as well as managing tasks and other features available through APIs.
        
        ## Installation
        
        You could use your preferred IDE (Eclipse, Visual Code, NetBeans, etc.) with the python interpreter 3.x or directly in console. Take a look at (https://www.python.org). Once the module is loaded you can view a list of available commands with the autocomplete tooltips.
         
        Just execute in the command line (libraries and dependencies will be installed):
        
        ```python
        pip install qsAPI
        ```
        
        Optionally, if you plan connect using NTLM authentication, then append optional target.
         
        ```python
        pip install qsAPI[ntlm]
        ```
        
        Now, the module can be used just importing qsAPI.py at the beginning of your python script or console, the module will then be loaded and ready to use.
        ```python
        >>> import qsAPI
        ```

        Or just a simple command line console if complex scripts are no needed:

        ## Usage
        ### Connecting with certificates
        The first step is to build a handler invoking the constructor of the class you will use containing the host parameters, this will attempt to connect to the Qlik Sense server. Just export previously from QlikSense console the certificate in portable format and copy the folder in your machine:
        ```python
        >>> qrs=qsAPI.QRS(proxy='hostname', certificate='path\\client.pem')
        ```
        
        ### Connecting with windows credentials (NTLM)
        Alternatively, the constructor accept user credentials via arguments.
        ```python
        >>> qrs=qsAPI.QRS(proxy='hostname', user=('yor_domain','username','password'))
        ```
        
        ## Examples
        #### Count users using a filter
        ```python
        qrs.count('user',"Name eq 'sa_repository'")
        ```
        #### Duplicate an application in the server
        ```python
        qrs.AppCopy('a99babf2-3c9d-439d-99d2-66fa7276604e',"HELLO world")
        ```
        #### Export an application
        ```python
        qrs.AppExport('a99babf2-3c9d-439d-99d2-66fa7276604e',"c:\\path\\myAppName.qvf")
        ```
        
        #### Export all published applications to directories
        ```python
        for app in qrs.AppGet(pFilter="stream.name ne 'None'"):
        	os.makedirs(app['stream']['name'], exist_ok=True)
        	qrs.AppExport(app['id'], app['stream']['name']+'\\'+app['name'])
        ```
        
        #### Retrieve security rules using a filter
        ```python
        qrs.SystemRulesGet("type eq 'Custom'")
        ```
        
        #### Retrieve a list of sessions for a user
        ```python
        [x['SessionId'] for x in qps.GetUser('DIR', 'name').json()]
        ```
        
        #### teardown of all connections for the user and related sessions
        ```python
        qps.DeleteUser('DIR','name')
        ```
        
        ##### More examples
        Take a look at the Wiki area: (https://github.com/rafael-sanz/qsAPI/wiki)
        
        
        ## Command Line
        Alternative use as command line is available too, examples:
        
        ```
        qsAPI --help
        qsAPI -s myServer -c dir/client.pem -Q QRS TaskStartbyName "Reload License Monitor"
        qsAPI -s myServer -c dir/client.pem -Q QRS -v INFO AppExport d8b120d7-a6e4-42ff-90b2-2ac6a3d92233
        qsAPI -s myServer -c dir/client.pem -Q QRS -v INFO AppReload 79f0c591-67de-4ded-91ae-4865934a5746
        ```
        
        ## TODO
        The module is in progress, a subset of methods are implemented. But all the endpoints could be implemented through the inner class `driver` and the methods `get, post, put, delete`.
        
        ```python
        qps.driver.get('/qrs/about/api/enums')
        ```
