Control ROOM API Key

SasidharanT — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 11:54:00 GMT

Hi BP Experts,

Need information about the Control Room's APIs usage.
For example, if I want to monitor a bot, to check the status (running/stopped) or to trigger the bot from BP studio. Is it possible?
If so, what is the solution?

Any reference link or document would be really helpful.

I tried to capture the same form BP studio which is really a wrong method.
So I want an alternate plan.

Thanks

Sasi

@Sasidharan T,

Blue Prism doesn't currently expose an "API" per se. As the documentation @shashank.kumar280 has shared shows, there is an HTTP interface you can use for interacting directly with runtime resource PCs. There's also AutomateC.exe, which is a command-line interface you can use to gather all sorts of information relative to your BP deployment.

Both interfaces are documented in the Help system. Additionally, you can always create a process to interact with Control Room in the same way you would create a bot to interact with any other UI-based application.

Cheers,

Hi Eric,
Good Day!

Yep. Yours and Shashank's comments were really helpful to close our proposal which was in an open state for the past 1 week.
Great and thanks for your support.

Regards,
Sasidharan T
