API as Method for Improving Robotic Process Automation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Robotic process automation has been maturing with significant speed and organizations that started using RPA during the past years now automate the “low AQ1 hanging fruit” with the best return on investment. The organizations strive to utilize RPA to get a higher value. However, the deployment of RPA on multiple processes is complex and demanding in terms of costs and resources. In this research, we focused on the reduction of the RPA bot duration by using the applications’ API in the RPA automation.We compared the duration of RPA bots on three processes. The three processes were automated with RPA technology via GUI and also via API. The results indisputably show that using API in RPA automation has a positive impact on its duration. RPA bot using API was, in some cases, ten times faster than RPA bot using GUI. The average duration change of using API against GUI was in the interval from 84.01% to 91.87%. This change shows the enormous acceleration of RPA bot and the impactful benefits of the use of API in RPA automation of processes.We may thus conclude that API is a good complement to RPA automation. RPA developers and RPA architects should use API when it is possible for better utilization of RPA robots.
