Example Request

Let's say you gathered all the information needed to build the API call.

The call should resemble the following example (cURL):

curl --location --request POST 'https://cloud.uipath.com/{organizationName}/identity_/api/Directory/BulkResolveByName/3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 1234' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "entityNames": [
        "john.doe@example.com",
        "jane.smith@example.com"
    ],
    "entityType": "User"
}'
curl --location --request POST 'https://cloud.uipath.com/{organizationName}/identity_/api/Directory/BulkResolveByName/3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6' \
