REST API

[Anonymous]

Hi, has anybody experience with REST API ? We will have a web app which will send (post, put) JSON via REST API to a BP DB and vice versa. I would need the Object for BP and the know-how to establish a successful communication. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Blue Prism and API integration is covered under the ""Web Services"" functionality of the software. You'll be wanting to look at the User Guide - Web Services documentation here: https://portal.blueprism.com/documents/standard?title=Web+Services&cate… However for your purposes I think it's important to note: Blue Prism web services are natively SOAP, WSDL-based services. Native support is not provided for creating RESTful Blue Prism web services.

http vbo and web services-rest vbo's. You can consume rest services. but Bp doesnt expose services as Rest.  You might have to extend the vbo if tls is involved, it supports some versions, I don't recall which ones are not supported.

Blue Prism does not support calling Process/Objects via REST, only SOAP. However, as part of our integration with Microsoft Power Platform, I have built an Azure function that effectively translates a REST call to a Blue Prism SOAP call. The source code is here:

https://github.com/blue-prism/MicrosoftFlowAzureFunction

There will soon be a full post on the Digital Exchange that documents the deployment and use of this Azure Function.

Hello Chris,

Is there any guide for the "Webservices REST" VBO ?
Thank You

The documentation for the Azure REST function is here:
https://digitalexchange.blueprism.com/dx/entry/3439/solution/microsoft-power-platform-connector

I do not believe there is a document for the REST VBO.

You can also consume REST services via the WebAPI functionality in Blue Prism. You can find that information here:

Hello Chris,

Thanks for the assistance.
Is there any option in Blue Prism Code stage to use Python?
Or any other option in Blue Prism to work along with Python?

You can write python scripts and execute it via a batch file. PS: All dependencies must be present on the machine beforehand,
