It might be helpful to be able to use an API to call and pass parameters to/from an Alteryx App or Workflow on an Alteryx Server. Then a user could use a browser or another application to call an Alteryx app/workflow.
Yes, the Gallery API version 1 is available for both Alteryx Gallery and your private server's gallery. The interactive documentation can be found by pointing your browser to http://gallery.alteryx.com/api-docs. For your private server's gallery, http://{YourGalleryURL}/gallery/api-docsThank you!

Have any of you above made any progress experimenting with the API?
I recently began an attempt to leverage this api in one of my applications, and am able to issue GET requests perfectly fine. However i am encountering a weird issue with the api response header when attempting to POST:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *,*
It seems as though the wildcard here is somehow getting doubled, which prohibits it from functioning as a wildcard, resulting in all request origins getting blocked. Has anybody else seen this? Any idea how to fix it?
Sincere gratitude for any and all help.
Hi @gtallen1187. This issue was reported by another user as well - this will be fixed up in an upcoming release.
Thanks for the quick reply @KoryC !
while we're waiting for the next release, is there a manual (and unsupported obviously) adjustment or change we can make to address this on our own? We are working with a bit of a timeline here, so it would be great if there was something we could do to get it working, even temporarily, until the next release.
I'm not sure this is being addressed in the thread above, but is it possible to call the server API through an Alteryx workflow? It seems to me that the original question was kind of getting to that point, but wasn't quite there.
I've been testing/learning to work directly with the API's myself, but I seem to be missing something when attempting to call the Alteryx Server API from an alteryx App/workflow. I believe i'm missing a piece of the oauth_signature process, but haven't stumbled into any answers so far. I don't have any experience with API's, but i've been learning quite a bit by way of the Alteryx download tool.
is this feature available in latest version ? I need to invoke a workflow with user parameter been passed to it through Rest-API.
Is it possible to control a workflow through rest API ?
Hi @sidevr,
It is we are using it at Kaiser Permanente, where one tools is sending over parameters through API and once the report runs it sends the report back to the tool via API
I need to trigger a workflow through an API call. Have anyone been able to do it ?
Is this feature available in Alteryx Server 2018.2 ?
The following endpoint is available in all currently supported versions of Server:
POST /v1/workflows/{appId}/jobs/
@TanyaS Hi Tanya, can someone please provide some documentation on how this would be used?
This has the potential to be incredibly powerful.
@davidhenington Interactive documentation for the Gallery API is included with all server installs. You can access it by appending '/api-docs' to you Gallery base address (e.g. http(s)://host.domain.tld/gallery/api-docs). To interact with the subscription endpoints in the documentation you will need the API to be enabled for your studio/subscription by a curator so that your studio's secret and key are available to you. For the admin endpoints you will need to have curator permissions on your server to access the necessary secret and key. This documentation is also available via our public Gallery at https://gallery.alteryx.com/api-docs, but you will not be able to use it interactively from this location.
@KevinP THANKS!!!
