RobotAPI

Extends Robot functionality with local job management and domain-specific interfaces.

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

• Including the client in your application

  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();
  

• Using the process key to start a job

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

• Starting a process execution

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

• Adding input arguments

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

• Exporting output arguments

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

• Stopping a process

  await client.RunJob(job, cancellationToken);
  

• Monitoring the process status

  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 })
