  title: Automation Anywhere API Task Execution AccessDetails Files API
  description: The Automation Anywhere API Task Execution API enables developers to invoke API Tasks — a specialized type of cloud-based bot designed to be called synchronously from external applications like a REST service. The API provides endpoints to list API Task allocations, generate unique execution URLs and tokens, and execute API Tasks in real time. API Tasks execute on cloud infrastructure without requiring local Bot Runner devices, and are designed for low latency with near-real-time response rates. The execution URL and authorization token are short-lived and must be refreshed periodically to prevent authorization failures.
