RobotAPI

UiPath Robot API is a component designed to expand the functionality of your own Robot. It comes with several features, each addressing a specific aspect of automation management. These include:

  • Individual job management: Provides the capability to run, stop, and track personal automation processes.

  • Domain-specific interfaces: Allows for the development of tailored interfaces to meet unique automation needs.

  • Local accessibility: Available only on the machine where the Robot is installed, ensuring secure and direct access.

  • Version compatibility: Keeps consistent with the version of the installed Robot, which allows for backwards compatibility.

Robot API uses the UiPath.Robot.api library. Use the following feed to download the library:

Common Robot API calls

Description

.NET Robot API call

Including the client in your application

var client = new RobotClient();var client = new RobotClient();

Getting the list of available processes

var processes = await client.GetProcesses(); 
var myProcess = processes.Single(process => process.Name == "MyProcess"); 
var job = myProcess.ToJob();var processes = await client.GetProcesses(); 
var myProcess = processes.Single(process => process.Name == "MyProcess"); 
var job = myProcess.ToJob();

Using the process key to start a job

var job = new Job("812e908a-7609-4b81-86db-73e3c1438be4");var job = new Job("812e908a-7609-4b81-86db-73e3c1438be4");

Starting a process execution

{ 
await client.RunJob(job); 
} 
catch (Exception ex) 
{ 
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); 
}{ 
await client.RunJob(job); 
} 
catch (Exception ex) 
{ 
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); 
}

Adding input arguments

job.InputArguments = {["numbers"] = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 }}; 
await client.RunJob(job);job.InputArguments = {["numbers"] = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 }}; 
await client.RunJob(job);

Exporting output arguments

var jobOutput = await client.RunJob(job); 
Console.WriteLine(jobOutput.Arguments["sumOfNumbers"]);var jobOutput = await client.RunJob(job); 
Console.WriteLine(jobOutput.Arguments["sumOfNumbers"]);

Stopping a process

await client.RunJob(job, cancellationToken);await client.RunJob(job, cancellationToken);

Monitoring the process status

job.StatusChanged += (sender, args) => Console.WriteLine($"{((Job)sender).ProcessKey}: {args.Status}"); 
await client.RunJob(job);job.StatusChanged += (sender, args) => Console.WriteLine($"{((Job)sender).ProcessKey}: {args.Status}"); 
await client.RunJob(job);

Using the event scheduler

new RobotClient(new RobotClientSettings { EventScheduler = TaskScheduler.Default })new RobotClient(new RobotClientSettings { EventScheduler = TaskScheduler.Default })
