API Call Start Jobs not selecting Roboter Account and Machine

[TP2B (Tobias)]

We try to start a job by API in Orchestrator (on-prem) by postman:

but the result isn’t ok, as it take a different userid

How can I select the userID \EXTAQSTPA?

Hi @TP2B

You can try adding the process to a environmnet and select the required bot in that environmnet .so when you start a job it starts only on the environmnet selected bot

Or you have this where you can give the bot id

Thanks for fast response. How can I work with environments?

Hi @TP2B

Are you on the modern layout?

If yes then use the api call only as Environments can be configured only on Classic robots

For you to start on specific id use Strategy as “Specific”

Get the robot id using get robots and get machines doe Machine ID and pass the robot id and Machine id

You can always use this api reference to check

https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/v0/reference/api-references

Request gets nothing:

Hi @TP2B

It is recommended to use modern layout yes

Can you check from the swagger if you are able to authenticate and retrieve the data?

Also please look at this where you get info about getting robot id’s

API GET Robots

Problem solved: I contacted UiPath support as I know there must be an API request that will return a list of robots as that list is presented in Orchestrator. I also was aware that there is a difference in robots provisioned as “modern” versus robots provisioned as “classic”. My original API request is formatted per documentation and is sent with the HTTP header X-UiPath-OrganizationalUnitId set to a valid folder ID as follows: https://cloud.uipath.com/[acct]/[tenant]/odata/Robots This retur…

And robot id might not be in serial and also you have to specify the machine id too
