Hey everyone,
Im using an application called OnBase, and am trying to make an unattended bot to file multiple different items iteratively. OnBase is notoriously slow and UiPath struggles to open it + navigate as well as click into some smaller input boxes/fields.
Im working within the REFramework… any reccomendations to improve the robustness of this? Im not exactly sure but APIs have been brought up?
Hi @ryan.boersma
For sure, start from a REF based project.
Then, I recommend you explore the Onbase API, which I am quite sure includes the actions you need to perform. I’ve worked many times with Document Managers (not particularly with Onbase), and leveraging API is the best approach if your system administrators allow it.
Thank you. I’m new to APIs. Do you have tips on how to find/access as well as how to get started?
I suggest you install Postman in your computer that is an API client that lets you test and practice requests. Each request can be different and for that you’ll need the specific documentation from the company that provides the software/service.
In Studio, you’ll need to install the following package
And then HTTP Request activity will be available. That activity is used to perform API calls from your automation in Studio
I recommend that you start practicing with some free-to-use API services like: Weather API - OpenWeatherMap
Then move to something more specific to your needs, and of course, you can count on our help here in the Forum
