Built in APIs

Hi all,

I'm very interested in knowing if is there any provided API-s by BluePrism, for example, Starting or stopping any process or whatever?

You can make use of AutomateC.exe, located within the Blue Prism directory. Call it via command line to get a list of commands.

"C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate\AutomateC.exe" /?

You can also expose a process/object as webservice and execute it on runtime resources. exposed process will be available as a SOAP webservice.

Hi Ibrahim,

This is definitely possible. Blue Prism provide a commandline interface to control Blue Prism using its Robots (Like mentioned by Ami).

This commandline interface is also available through HTTP, which, I personally prefer compared to the more local commandline interface.

You can see all the commands available in the Help section of BP or you can also checkout this article:

Jerin also point out you can expose every object and process as webservices. For this you need to consider best practices in term of license usage. But it is a very powerful feature as well.

At my projects we heavily use all above, and it is extremely powerful and fun to work with.
