Question

Get List of Robotic Processes

Hi everybody, 

I am new to Appian and I am learning RPA using the Community Edition Site. I would like to retrieve (for example using an Expression) the list of the RPA Bots that I defined in the RPA Platform, and I was wondering if there's any built in function that I can use, or if any of you could suggest the best approach to implement it. 

Alternatively I found this API https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.3/rpa-7.4/api/get-robotic-process-list.html. Am I allowed to call this Api with a Community Edition License? Do I have to create an Http Integration like any other external Api? 

Thanks in advance,
Franco

    As of right now, you must use our external REST API to get the list of all resources. We are hoping to improve this in the future.

    Hi Franco. When you say "RPA Bots" do you mean robotic processes or the resources that those processes run on? As Danny mentioned, we don't currently have expression functions for retrieving either kind of data, but could you describe your use case that needs this data? Thanks!
