Hi Malliga,

Blue Prism web services are natively SOAP, WSDL-based services. Blue Prism can expose Business Objects as SOAP web services and consume an external SOAP web service.

Blue Prism also provides support for REST web services via a series of VBOs (REST, HTTP, JSON). Blue Prism can consume REST web services using the REST VBO. The REST VBO (BPA Object - Webservices - REST.xml) is available from the VBO folder within the folder structure of your Blue Prism software installation.

We have a copy of DX for your reference, it provides the capability to connect to REST based webservice APIs.

We also have an user guide to focus on the Web Service for your reference.

Hi Malliga,

Being a consumer of third party web services, Blue Prism acts no different than any other web service client, e.g. SoapUI.

On the highest level it is about how you construct a web request and then capture the web response returned from the web service host, according to the web service specification. In the process, you will need to consider URI to various web service endpoints, and maybe authentication, header, URI parameters and etc. It is the developers responsibility to understand the requirements from those web services and provision them in Blue Prism in the most appropriate manner possible.
