When should you choose the Orchestrator API?

@Rahul_Rajendran,

Any action over Orchestrator you would like to perform automatically on the basis of some condition or requirement can be the good use case for using Orchestrator API’s.

The UiPath Orchestrator API offers a wide range of capabilities that can be leveraged for various use cases1. Here are some key examples:

  1. Managing Queues and Queue Items: Programmatically add, retrieve, and update work items in queues1.
  2. Starting and Stopping Jobs: Kickoff automation jobs on-demand or on a schedule, and stop them as needed1.
  3. Retrieving Asset Information: Get data about robots, processes, and other RPA assets1.
  4. Creating and Modifying Assets: Create new robots, processes, and other assets, and modify existing ones1.
  5. Monitoring and Reporting: Retrieve logs, job statuses, and performance metrics to monitor and report on automation activities.
  6. Integration with Third-Party Applications: Build connectors or adapters to integrate UiPath Orchestrator with other systems, enabling seamless automation across platforms2.
  7. Automated Workflows: Trigger workflows based on events or conditions, such as starting a job when a new item is added to a queue.
  8. Security and Compliance: Manage user permissions and roles, ensuring that only authorized users can access certain functionalities.

These use cases demonstrate how the Orchestrator API can enhance automation capabilities, streamline processes, and improve overall efficiency.

LLM helped me to write this but it’s validated by me.
