Skylar Automation (formerly PowerFlow) includes an API that is available after you install the Skylar Automation system.
Interacting with the API
To view the full documentation for the Skylar Automation API:
- From the Skylar Automation system , copy the /opt/iservices/scripts/swagger.yml file to your local computer.
- Open a browser session and go to editor.swagger.io.
- In the Swagger Editor, open the File menu, select Import File, and import the file swagger.yml. The right pane in the Swagger Editor displays the API documentation.
You can also access the full documentation for the Skylar Automation API by going to the endpoint /api/v1/docs. The documentation can be downloaded if needed by going to /api/v1/swagger?download=true.

Querying for the State of a Skylar Automation Application
When triggering a Skylar Automation application from the applications/run endpoint, you can query for the state of that application in two ways:
- Asynchronously. When you POST a run of a Skylar Automation application to /applications/run, the response is an integration status with a Task ID, such as: isap-23233-df2f24-etc. At any time, you can query for the current state of that task from the endpoint /api/v1/tasks/isap-23233-df2f24-etc. The response includes all of the steps run by the application, along with the status of the steps, and URL links to additional info, such as logs for each step.
- Synchronously. When you POST a run of an application, you can tell Skylar Automation to wait responding until the application is complete by adding the wait argument. For example, /api/v1/applications/run?wait=20 will wait for 20 seconds before responding. The maximum wait time is 30 seconds. When the application completes, or 30 seconds has passed, the API returns the current status of the integration run. This process works the same as if you had manually queried /api/v1/tasks/isapp-w2ef2f2f. Please note that while the API is waiting for your application to complete, you are holding on to a thread. If you have multiple applications that run for a long period of time, do not use a synchronous query unless you have no other option. ScienceLogic recommends using an asynchronous query whenever possible.
GET
/api/v1/about. Retrieve version information about the packages used by this Skylar Automation system, including the version of Skylar Automation.
/api/v1/apikeys. Retrieve all available API keys saved in the Skylar Automation system.
/api/v1/apikeys/{api_key}. Get details of a single API key.
/api/v1/applications. Retrieve a list of all available applications on this Skylar Automation system.
/api/v1/applications/{appName}. Retrieve a specific application.
/api/v1/applications/{appName}/logs. Retrieve the logs for the specified application.
/api/v1/cache/{cache_id}. Retrieve a specific cache to gather information about the user interface and the Skylar Automation applications.
/api/v1/cache/{cache_key}. Retrieve cache documents, but only if this cache document was explicitly saved to be exposed to the API. You will need to save the cache document using the latest version of the "SaveToCache" step in the Base Steps SyncPack. This step has a step parameter called "read_from_api" that lets you decide whether the cache document can be requested from the API.
/api/v1/configurations. Retrieve a list of all configurations on this Skylar Automation system.
/api/v1/configurations/{configName}. Retrieve a specific configuration.
