API call for cloud orchestrator accounts

[Ahmed_AbdelRahman]

Hello Everyone;

I am trying to make an API call to trigger a robot from the orchestrator, but despite working for my old account, my new account gives me “Invalid credentials, failed to login.”.

I tried researching and found this link :

Consuming APIs with the new Cloud Orchestrator

With the rollout of the UiPath Cloud Platform, we changed how we authenticate users in Orchestrator APIs. Unfortunately, this had the unintended consequence of breaking code that people used to script Orchestrator actions in the Community Orchestrator. For more details, see this thread. To remedy this, we are enabling back the old method of authentication (basic authentication) temporarily to unblock users while we roll out our more permanent solution. Basic authentication will only be enabled…

but the link provided there :

About OData and References

is not working, and i can’t do the API call.

can anyone help? I use the tenant name from the “services” tab in cloud orchestrator, and the e mail and password i made.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply.

I think this will help when i can access the account, but i can’t access it using api calls.

i use POST https://platform.uipath.com/api/account/authenticate

[HareeshMR (Hareesh Madasi)]

Yes,

The authentication using the API is included with more steps now @Ahmed_AbdelRahman

we need to get the logical name by running a javascript code in the browser. Then running a simple URL in browser, we will get the authorization code . Then we need to use these all in the authentication step

I hope you are missing something . Please check again

ok thanks for the help, please bear with me
what is the Javascript code?
when i use
https://platform.uipath.com/cloudrpa/api/getAccountsForUser

{“timestamp”:“31-07-2019 10:21:19”,“errorMessage”:“Full authentication is required to access this resource”,“debugMessage”:null,“errorCode”:9024,“subErrors”:null}

Hi @Ahmed_AbdelRahman

The documentation will be back soon enough. We are doing some improvements

In the meantime, please check out my post here:

Consuming APIs with the new Cloud Orchestrator

Hi @alfalfi Welcome to our UiPath Forum! Sure, have a look at this project: CloudAPI_GetAccessToken.zip (12.0 KB) It basically recreates the steps from the Cloud API guide in 4 ‘simple’ workflows: [image] I will rush it out, even though some functionality still needs to be added. But maybe someone here on the Forum could take care of that You will need Chrome for it to work

It contains a project that you can simply run to get all the tokens

[HareeshMR (Hareesh Madasi)]

Yes, the documentation link is not working now. If it is available then it will be easy for you.

You will have the javascript link available there @Ahmed_AbdelRahman …

Please wait

[Ahmed_AbdelRahman]
