API DLL Integration with Metabot (Automation Anywhere - RPA with Visual Studio C#)

This Video is a short course on 'How you can integrate with APIs using C# Code and calling it via Meta bot (Automation Anywhere's 11.x RPA Platform).
There are multiple ways by which you can consume a Rest API, but in this video, to make it short, I have used one of the shortest ways.
Finally, after generating the DLL, the video shows 'How to create a Metabot and call it from the Taskbot'.
The video also demos about the Rest Command used in Automation Anywhere's RPA Platform.
Please let me know your feedback, comments, suggestions/ideas in the comment.

Hi Sir,
I got it resolved. I have used dot net framework and I have created framework first and Library(DLL) later so at the time of running I didn't face any issue and it worked fine. Thank you so much.

Hi Ankan,
Thanks for this Video. I have a question, when I am trying to add dll in Metabot, its not showing the Methods and DataMembers for the class. Can you please help by letting know the possible solution if any. Thanks in Advance.

[@ankanmondal1980]

Hey Piyush, Please use dot net framework while creating a DLL. Dot net core and other types might not work.

[@Agandara01]

Good afternoon, I have not found any video that can make a call of a bot (Automation Anywhere), from C# (Visual Studio), and bring the body's response of automation and display by console en c#.

[@ankanmondal1980]

That's possible with Version 11.3.4 , You can select services with open APIs and Run Bots by Device Pool Queues.

How to get the url from user? i mean how to get the url from user as input?

[@ankanmondal1980]

You can take input via multiple ways from Platform - some of them are -
1) Directly passing the value from Variable
2) Passing value from Text Confile file (.txt or .csv)
3) Passing value from Crendential vault.
For details on 'How to do that' , you can visit - docs.automationanywhere.com
Search for 'Variable managers' or 'Working with variable'
