Orchestrator HTTP Request- Delete Asset

[Soni_Reddy]

Hello Everyone,

I want to delete asset from orchestrator using uipath studio activities.

Able to create asset in Orchestrator using Orchestrator HTTP Request uipath activity.

But unable to delete asset using same activity by selecting method as Delete from activity.

Please provide solution.

Thanks

We don’t have any activity to delete the asset from the Orchestrator straight forward @Soni_Reddy

You can automate the robot

1. Open browser activity

2. Enter the credential using Click and Type activity

3. Navigate to Asset page.

4. Click activity to delete the Asset.

Regards

Hi,

Tried providing below end point in Orchestrator HTTP request uipath activity

/odata/Assets({Key})

For key i provided fid which displays in uipath cloud platform url(Orchestrator) but dont have exact idea what key should be provided in endpoint.

As in Orchestrator HTTP request activity there are GET,POST,PATCH,PUT,DELETE methods are available so DELETE method should work. Tried with multiple ways DELETE asset is not working kindly help and provide solution.

deletion was successfully done as by following activity and settings

the used asset key is the id of the asset that we can retrieve from a ORC Api call e.g.
“/odata/Assets/UiPath.Server.Configuration.OData.GetAssetsAcrossFolders”

Or we can inspect from URL when browsing to the asset

RnD and Exploration of the Rest API we can do in swagger

taken from:

Orchestrator - API References

Kindly note:

@Soni_Reddy

For key i provided fid

fid is the folder Id which we use also for the X-UiPath-OrganizationUnitId but is not the Id of the Asset

Thanks @ppr for response.

Tried with same steps by providing asset id which displays while navigating to orchestrator assets url getting “You are not authorized” error.

check and ensure also the permissions as mentioned here:

Orchestrator HTTP Request activity cannot delete

Hi @amr07, Please keep in mind that when using the “Orchestrator HTTP Request” the authentication is made through the robot so you need to have the necessary permissions on the robot role in order to delete an asset. Most likely this is the reason why your workflow doesn’t work. I would suggest not to change the robot role, but to add a new role to your robot with the necessary permissions. More details here: https://activities.uipath.com/docs/orchestrator-http-request Also keep in mind that…
