Introduction

Transition from "For Developers" in the global menu.

With the developer functions, you can make settings for calling BOTs created in the cloud BOT as APIs, execution tests, and advanced settings related to cooperation with external services.

API

The created BOT can be published as an API.

Basic settings

Sets a public path (ID) and enable the API. The public ID you set will be used as part of the endpoint when calling the BOT.

When the API is published, "Disable API" is displayed to disable the API.

Access Token

Manages the access tokens and secret keys needed to access the API.

Lists already published access tokens. You can view access tokens, secret keys, and permissions.

The following operations are available from this screen.

  1. Issue Access Token
  2. Edit the Access Token Permissions
  3. Discard Access Token

Issue Access Token

  • Click [Issue Access Token].
  • A modal window is displayed. Select a permission to grant to the access token.
  • Click [Issue] to publish the access token.

Up to 3 access tokens can be issued per user.

If the secret key is leaked, a malicious third party can operate the API.
Be sure to store it in a safe place.
The secret key can no longer be verified.
Be sure to keep it with the access token.
If you should lose it, discard the access token and reissue it.

Edit the Access Token Permissions

  • Clicking the [Edit] button displays a modal window as same as when issuing an access token. Change a permission to grant to the access token.

Discard Access Token

Click [Discard] to discard the access token.

API List

You need to enable the API in advance. In addition, public settings must be set for each BOT. The public ID you set will be used as part of the endpoint when calling the BOT.

By switching tabs, currently published BOTs and unpublished BOTs are displayed alternatively.

Publishing your BOT as API

BOT is set to "Private" by default.

  1. Select the [Private] tab.
  2. Press the [Publish] button of the BOT whose API you want to publish.
  3. Click the [Publish your API] button.
  4. Click [OK] in the modal window.

About API

You can view the information such as about BOT, Public settings, Endpoint.

Enable/Disable API

You can enable/disable it with the button in the "Public Settings". It is same as the button in the "Basic settings".

Testing API Using API Test Tool

You can actually run the BOT API using the test tool.

Scroll down the About API screen to test three types: BOT Execution (POST), Job Reference (GET), and Job Suspension (DELETE).

Here, we explain the steps with using "BOT Execution" as an example.

The Request Body shows the parameter sample used when executing the BOT API. The sample is created with the initial values in the BOT.
It is possible to rewrite the Request Body and test the execution.

  1. Select the access token to be used and enter the secret key.
  2. Click [Send] to execute the API.
  3. When the API execution is completed, the response contents will be displayed in "Response Body".

Event Hook

A setting to notify the specified callback when a specific event occurs.

BOT Event

A list of event hooks set in BOT will be displayed.

  • You can register, edit and delete it.

Register or edit an event hook

You can register event hooks to any BOT. The same operation will be performed when you press "Edit" from the list.

OAuth 2.0

By using OAuth authentication, users will be able to authorize access to external applications with their own account privileges without being aware of specialized settings such as access tokens and secret keys.
