UiPath Cloud API Key Authentication Method Change and Deprecation Inquiry

Help Orchestrator
,

Hello,

I understand that the API authentication method is changing from the previous User Key and Client ID-based approach to the new External Applications method. Could you please provide an example of how to use this new authentication method?

I tried the following request in Postman, but I encountered a 307 error:

UiPath{App ID}&scope={OR.Administration OR.Administration.Read}&redirect_uri=https://localhost:8088/

Regarding the redirect_uri, can it be any URL, or is there a specific format required?

I would appreciate any guidance on this issue.

Thank you!

if you use a confidential app then redirect is not mandatory

please check this on how to get the token
