Introduction to UiPath Orchestrator API
The UiPath orchestrator API is defined as the UiPath orchestrator is the very popular module sphere of robotics process automation which we can say that it is the core of automation management. It provides the ability to supply, install, set off, scan, calculate, trace, and make sure that the robots in the organization are secure. We can control every single thing from the browser or from the mobile device. It means that it can help to access and control all the assets which are available in the web interface of the orchestrator. the API(Application Programming Interface) is the software that allows to interact between two applications.
What is UiPath orchestrator API?
The API stands for Application Programming Interface which can be software that can allow two applications to interact with each other. For example when we install and use a mobile app that we need to connect to the internet and send data to a server, then the server can restore that data, can translate it, and after performing the necessary actions that can send it back to the server. So we can say that the orchestrator has been used to communicate with the orchestrator and to use the functionality from the third party application, as it is the bridge between the applications that can be used for communication. The UiPath Orchestrator is the basic element in the process of automation. It can control and everything from our browser, the UiPath orchestrator can able to help and control all the assets from the interface of the orchestrator.
How to use orchestrator API?
Let us see how to use the orchestrator API for that we need to check how the API can be used to create the execution report and that can be very needful for any project, in which the bots are essential to exercise a huge number of records which can be needful to for particular time period,
Authentication
According to the API calls the orchestrator API has required the authentication first then this type of authentication will create a token for the carrier and that can be used subsequent requests to the orchestrator, the authenticate API may accept the input variables as a tenancyName, username, and password, the token which we have given is the output that is the string value.
Subsequent request
In this step, the token has been already generated and we can able to build the succeeding request of API, that may present the characteristics of the records and that can be handled from the queue for a particular date-time, there is also an API call that can present all the information which are processed by all the bots which have status success and failed, this API call can receive the data time of the particular day, queue id, the API call can represent the particular operations in which the client application.
The output of the API call will be in the form of a JSON string that can be transformed into a JSON object by using the deserialization activity of the UiPath.
The orchestrator API deployment has based on the OData protocol, OData means open data protocol which can able to create services that are based on the REST-data services, in which the OData can rectify the subset of asset properties which we wanted to return, in this way, we can able to use the UiPath Orchestrator API.
For making use of it we need to navigate to admin then we have to select tenants and then it displays the list of all tenants that can be enlarged into the available services then we need to click on API access() to communicate with the orchestrator service.
Use cases of UiPath orchestrator API
Now a day every business has automation in their day-to-day work activities and those activities may require to store in a record that record will have the information which the bot needs to process, the use case is the report which can be provided to interact with humans as per the business needs this report is very needful because of the failure in the system, we can say that the business also wanted to understand that if the record prepared successfully then to check whether there is any problem will happen, let us discuss the use cases which are given below,
Report for everyday execution of bot
A call center representative can get assistance from a bot that can be running on a daily basis and in a planned time means the time has been organized properly, and it also rectifies the records from the queue, the bot has begun to support the status of each record in the data table and at the end of the processing the information has been shared through email and end up with the all details which are maintained in the memory of the bot.
Report for weekly or monthly or quarterly details of execution
The administration of the company may require financial services which can be the record and that can be processed by the bot, and they have to control and support by a separate path for all records in regarding the internal audit purpose, a bot can able to run on every day or weekly or monthly basis.
Example:
{
"Key":"Value"
}
jsonString=
{
"Name":"Yogita wankhade"
"Mobile":"7856894577"
"Email":"[email protected]"
}
jsonString->Deserialize JSON->jObj
jObj("Email")
In the above example, we have taken a key and string values as we have put the strings as Name, Mobile, and Email, if we wanted to call the string “Email” then we need to give the input to the JSON and it will show the result as a string which has been provided in the program.
Conclusion
In this article, we conclude that the UiPath orchestrator API is the OData version 4.0 that can reveal the structure and their relationship by using the established approach of navigating the modification rule, and also, we have discussed the use cases, this article will give an idea of using the orchestrator API.
