Expose Alteryx workflow as a webservice

[mpmanesh]

I would like to check if we can create a custom workflow in alteryx and expose as a webservice.  This will allow easy integration to other applications. The intend is to create an interface have

1) a real time call to alteryx workflow passing certain parameters from another application and

2) get a response from alteryx post processing real time

Is there some example or documentation which can be referred to. I can see there is an API output - is this to get a real time response post processing.

Thank you in advance,

Hi @mpmanesh,

The Gallery REST API available with Alteryx Server can provide this functionality. It offers methods to execute a workflow (and pass answers to any input questions/parameters), query current workflow execution state, and retrieve results when a workflow run is finished. 

Some API documentation can be found here: https://gallery.alteryx.com/api-docs/

Best regards,

Ryan
