Automation Cloud API guide

Other API access methods

You use Orchestrator API access and API keys to establish a connection between the UiPath® platform and other applications that are external to it. External applications can be either UiPath desktop applications, or third-party applications.

API access is available for several UiPath services (products).

Important: Support for Orchestrator API access ended in March 2025. We recommend using External Applications or Personal Access Tokens (PATs) as the primary method of authentication.

Learn more about upcoming deprecations.
