Orchestrator API : access credentials in assets

[shankm]

Hi,
I’m working on a project using Orchestrator API.
When I tried to access assets of ValueType : credential, the Credential password field return null.

I’m using endpoint : /odata/Assets

I can retrieve the username and other details. How can I access the credential password through API?

Thanks in advance.

Have you checked below thread ?

Read me

@lakshman
Yes, I’m using that same endpoint. But the password field is empty while returning.

@shankm

Password will be secure string.

@lakshman
Ok, if so, how can I get that securestring? Is there any options to use the credentials stored in the UiPath orchestrator outside UiPath, using API?

Check below thread to convert secure string to String.

Convert SecureString to String - Get Secured Credential

This is the response I’m getting from the API, how can I find a secure string from this response?

Hi,

Do we have an answer for this? Or any workaround available? In orchestrator 2019, the api call to get a credential asset always returns a blank password just as shown in the screenshot by @shankm

Thanks,
Arun

As far as I am aware, it’s not possible to retrieve a password via the API.
