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();
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	{ 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);
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 })
