Running Alteryx Workflow analytic app on server through API with answer to question (.py)

[Mariusz123]

Hi,

I want to run Alteryx analytic app on server through API using python script, but firstly I have to answer to question to text box tool (from interface tools). How to provide answer to this question in Python script? I can not find anything in API documentation. 

Thank you in advance for any help / suggestions.

1. Get the questions: /v1/workflows/{appId}/questions
2. Create the JSON with the answers
3. Queue the job: /v1/workflows/{appId}/jobs

JSON with the values should look like this:

{
"questions": [
{
"name": "Input String",
"value": "abcd"
}
]
}

Hi, 

Is this still applicable with the latest version of the API (v3)?

[gabrielvilella]

Those endpoints are from v1. But it doesn’t matter what is the version. If you have v3 you can still use all from v1 and v2.
