API | UiPath Web Automation using API calls Use Case.

API stands for Application Programming Interface is referred to as API. Any software with a specific function is referred to as an application when discussing APIs. Interface can be compared to a service agreement between two applications. This agreement specifies the requests and responses that the two parties will use to communicate.

Numerous providers of API management platforms have also recognised the advantages of combining robotic automation and API-based integration. In order to provide connectors for quick and secure API-RPA connection, they collaborate with RPA providers. Bots can make API calls.

The UiPath WebAPI activities enable faster results by allowing you to manipulate REST API via the HTTP Request Wizard. JSON: A text-based standard for encoding structured data based on JavaScript object syntax is called JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). It is frequently employed for data transmission in online applications.

JSON Deserialization is the process of converting a JSON string back into an object, whereas serialisation is the opposite (converting a JSON object back into an string).

An API called RandomUser gives programmers access to fake users data which are generated at random and can be used as test subjects. As a result, in this video we will use the website to pick data using API calls from UiPath and upate the data into another website called rpa challenge.

This video is very helpful for me thank you so much rakesh!😇

[kakachino]

As always Fantastic video... something different than regular Uipath activities....but i had one generic question, in End point of http request activity we always enter API url, right? Also can we get the API url for all the websites? I understand for practice purpose we are using api url of randomuser. but i just wanted to know how does it work in real projects, do companies provide the api url? Thank you..

Please make more video on API Rakesh. like how we can run our bot with API calls how we can add data to Queue like API integration with orchestrators

[nalbandtejaswini]

How can we get the exact count of users registered in randomuser site by using API concept. for example if we want to submit more than 1 user details in rpa challenge site.

hi Rakesh... can you tell me please type of argument in deserialize Json activity. i facing issue

[contactviveksri]

Hi Rakesh, i am getting "Option Strict On Disallows Late Binding - Error in UiPath" while accessing JasonObject("object name")

[vishnuvardhanreddy]

Hi Rakesh Bro how to iterate this process multiple times and how to store the data in excel sheet

[ip]

Hi Rakesh. This process is no longer working as error occurs when an object is used in the "type into" activity. It says, "option strict on disallows late binding". How to fix this?
