Unable to install API Package

I am trying to install the UiPath.Activities.Api package into a project, but am receiving the following error:

Package ‘UiPath.Activities.Api’ cannot be installed because Studio provides its own version of this package and restricts its installation as a dependency.

The problem is I do not see the version of this package referenced. In the ‘Available’ section there is an API category, but that only has the ‘Orchestrator HTTP Request’ activity. I have searched and can find no other API-related activities available. Just curious what I am doing wrong here, or what I am missing for doing a simple API call.

Hi,

If you want to use HTTP Request activity, for example, can you try to install UiPath.WebAPI.Activites package? We will be able to install it from Local feed.

Thank you, that worked. So am I to guess this is simply an issue of old packages not being cleared out of the repo?

Hi,

UiPath.API.Activities package is for development rule of WorkflowAnalyzer, CustomWizard of Studio etc, and it’s unnecessary to use it for developing automation project. Please see the following document in details.
