How To Call APIs | Blue Prism Tutorial

In this video, I demonstrate how to call various APIs from Blue Prism. Look at the chapters below if you’d like to jump to a certain point. Each major section of the video (4 sections) are entirely separate from each other. So, it may be hard to jump around within a section, but you certainly don’t need to have watched one section in order to watch another section. Each of the section deals with a different API.

Here are some links you may need if you want to follow along and play in Blue Prism while I do in the video.
Eight Ball API: https://www.eightballapi.com
Calculator SOAP API: http://www.dneonline.com/calculator.asmx
HubSpot API docs for Contacts: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/a...
My GitHub repo that you can try if you want but no guarantees that it’ll work for you: https://github.com/davetherpaguy/tc-w...

And here are some sites that contain lists of public APIs you could try in addition to the ones in this video:
