Hi All,
How to work on API automation ??
Do we need to use Reframework while using API automation??
Please let me know
API automation simply means accessing applications or backend via API which is super efficient compared to Ui Automation
There is no specific design as such for API automation
RE Framework is a framework which suits mainly for transaction based automation irrespective of whether the automation contains API or not.
To learn about API automation - I would suggest you to watch below video as it is a vast topic

Thank you @sharazkm32 ,
I just wanted to know that if I allocate a project based on API do I want to use Reframe work or not this is my actual doubt.
If yes at what scenario we need to use
I have already watched Those API videos from YouTube
That depends on the type of your project
It is always better to use RE Framework as many of the automation concepts are covered in it.
In any of the process - there could be 2 parts mostly
One identifying the transactions which needs to be processed - This should be added under Dispatcher process ( Kindly learn about the concept of dispatcher and performer)
Next is to process each transactions from the queue for which it is always suggested to create a performer process which is built on top of RE Framework. You might be using API automation in the performer side under the XAML Process
It might feel overwhelming if you dont have the concept of Dispatcher and performer. I would suggest you to learn more about Dispatcher Performer concept and how the RE Framework helps you to build performer using RE FRamework
Suggest you to watch below video as well
Hi @naveen.s
No need to use any framework while working on API Automation. Just install the UiPath.API.Activties package to use api activities.
Drag and drop the HTTP Request activity to work on.
Hope it helps!!
