Please get the Robot ID from performing Get Robots API and confirm if the Robot ID is correct or not

Hi @theerthaks,
Have you tried in Swagger API manual page? Was that works fine?

9

It’s not worked in Swagger API as well :frowning:

10

I can see that, you didn’t escape the input parameters. Try with escape characters.

"Arguments":"{\"input\":\"hello\"}"

Change:

"InputArguments":"{\"input\":\"hello\"}"

{
“startInfo”: {
“ReleaseKey”: “7b1ebed4-8b84-485e-a598-79f86e4bb0c1”,
“Strategy”: “Specific”,
“RobotIds”: [
247407
],
“NoOfRobots”: 0,
“JobsCount”: 0,
“Source”: “Manual”
}
}

and

{
“startInfo”: {
“ReleaseKey”: “7b1ebed4-8b84-485e-a598-79f86e4bb0c1”,
“Strategy”: “Specific”,
“RobotIds”: [
247407
],
“NoOfRobots”: 0,
“JobsCount”: 0,
“Source”: “Manual”,
“InputArguments”:“{"input":"some value"}”
}
}

With or without Input Arguments, result is same :frowning:

12

It should be like
“InputArguments”:"{\“input\”:\“some value\”}"

13

is it mandatory?

14

If you published the process with arguments, it is mandatory otherwise you don’t give it

15

Correct. I have not used any arguments… With or without arguments, results is same :frowning:

Thank you

Okay, try giving the JSON data without spaces and new line characters. Make the JSON as single line.

17

@theerthaks is that works?

18

Sorry. No, it’s not working.

Thanks

It was working for me. Which version are you using?

20

I discussed this issue directly with @theerthaks
Regards to this issue, I confirmed the same issue happens with me.
I was able to fix the issue by removing the quotation mark from the JSON key like below.

{
startInfo: {
ReleaseKey: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”,
Strategy: “Specific”,
RobotIds: [xxxxx]
}
}

@theerthaks confirmed this fixes the issue for him as well.
I have raised this issue to documentation team.
