API Invocation

A common use case for Orchestra workflows is to be integrated into or invoked from an external application. This can be done using the Workflow API. The Workflow API provides endpoints to list available workflows, execute workflows, track execution status, and more.

Available APIs

1. List available workflows

2. Workflow Execution

3. Workflow Execution Steps

4. Execution History

5. Workflow Diagram

Setting up an API Key

All API requests require authentication using a Bearer token. To generate an API key:

1. Go to Settings --> API Tokens --> Add API Token.

2. Provide a name and select "Get API Token".

Add a New API Token

1. Copy the generated API Key. You will not be able to view this again so ensure you store it somewhere secure. You will also be provided code examples for calling the APIs in Javascript and Python.

Add New API Token

Core Functionality

Each API call will use the API Key generated with the steps above as well as the base url: https://orchestra.arcee.ai/api/v1/workflow.

Error Handling

All APIs adhere to standard HTTP status codes:

• 200 OK – Request successful

• 400 Bad Request – Invalid input

• 401 Unauthorized – Invalid or missing authentication

• 404 Not Found – Resource not found

• 500 Internal Server Error – Server-side error

Proper error handling should be implemented when interacting with the API to manage failures effectively.

Security Best Practices

To ensure secure API interactions, follow these best practices:

• Store API tokens securely in environment variables or credential stores.

• Use HTTPS for all API requests to prevent data interception.

• Implement proper error handling to avoid exposing sensitive information in API responses.
