Getting started with Control Room APIs

All requests must include an X-Authorization header with the JSON authentication token, or an Authorization header with a Bearer token for requests to the Control Room. The following sections provide details about the Control Room APIs available endpoints, methods, resources, authentication protocols, parameters, and headers, as well as examples of common requests and responses.

Note: The Bearer token is supported as of the Automation 360 v.27 release and later. It is unsupported and ignored in any previous releases. You must obtain the Bearer token from our OAuth services. To authorize your access, use either X-Authorization (using Authentication API) or Authorization (using OAuth). You cannot use both in the same API.
The Control Room supports several REST API clients. You can use Control Room swagger to view and run the APIs. Access the Control Room swagger by using the link https://{control-room}/swagger/ and replace {control-room} with your Control Room instance.
