API's

[JosephM_10]

Hello, I'm new to Alteryx and I had a question about Executing Workflows using REST API's and Command Line

I see the documentation and watched videos on executing workflows using API's and command Line execution, but I had two questions:

1. Is the REST API's used only with the Cloud, or can it be used with On Prem installs also?

2. Command Line on Prem Server: Can you execute the Alteryx  ".exe" and pass the xml variable file from another server using \\servername\folder\alteryx.exe? or does it need to be executed from the same server Alteryx is installed on?

Hey @JosephM_10 ,

The answer for the 1st question is yes, Your on prem server also have gallery APIs.

For the second, it is also possible but you will need to include a few more steps since command line doesn't support UNC paths directly.
