Hi Yogesh,

API acitivity is used to invoke SAP and REST APIs.

Create Application

  • Go to Admin Tab of AssistEdge Studio.
  • Add an application of type Web API and specify all its properties.

Use API Activity in a Process

  • Clicking on Create New button in HOME tab of AssistEdge Studio will create a new process
  • Open the new or any existing process
  • Add "API activity" in the process designer
  • Select the new application that was created above.
  • Configure the request that you want to send and response output variable

Hi,

Are you passing a parameter in request for which value is not defined. Check for arguments that you have defined and request you are sending. Paste screen of how you have configured process if you are not able to figure out the issue

Hi,
I am new user and was able to call REST API in assistedge community edition.
Since I am new, i m unable to attach more than 1 screenshots.

Create WebAPI application with login URL as:
Login URL: http://api.openweathermap.org

Add Headers:
Add the authorization token or bearer token in headers
Add the " Accept: application/json" as header if required

There are 2 arguments used here:

  1. Name: argument1, Direction: In, type: string; Default Value: “/data/2.5/weather?q=London,uk”

  2. Name: response, Direction: Out, type:string

Refer the screenshot for filling details such as arguments, Method type, etc.
I am not adding headers and running the process, so getting the unauthorized error.
