Accessing Your Data Through the API
You can use the Azumuta REST API with existing data in your environment (e.g., to create an audit of an existing work instruction by using external automation.)
To know which IDs or UUIDs (API attributes) to use in your automation, you should look them up by clicking on the “API attributes” button. This button can be found on all Azumuta webpages that have an item that can be accessed through an API.
In the guide section below, we will show you how you can find the API attribute of any item in Azumuta.
How to Find the API Attribute of an Item
Here’s how you can find the API attribute of an item – be it a folder, a work instruction, an instruction step, or any other item.
