Thanks for your response @Martin...

Is it only way to go via bioblend library...is there any other way available to interact with Galaxy via REST calls?

I do see some of below apis are available but I'm not sure how to define inputs to them and trigger our workflows...Can you please help me with this? https://host:80/api/workflows/ GET : To get related workflows POST: To trigger particular workflow

any example related to this will be helpful.

Regards

You surely can use the whole raw Galaxy's API - the documentation is here: https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/api_doc.html

For more details and examples please see the hub page

The bioblend library is usually a very good companion when working with Galaxy's API.

see the docs on how to invoke a workflow
Uploading a file via API can be done via this method
Could you please elaborate what you mean by synchronous execution in this context?

Going through the galaxy's API is the hard way. You can use existing python libraries such Bioblend. You can connect to your galaxy instance by API key, first upload your files just by calling the upload tool, then the rest is quite the same. Prepare you inputs for each tool an run it. It will be better if you execute the whole thing as a workflow.

Thanks for guidance @Bensellak,

Somehow I'm able to follow you for bioblend. Even I was also trying on same side but facing issue with below two things: 1. how to create URL for each of the Bioblend python script to expose for HTTP hit? 2. I was trying to trigger some workflows with /api/workflows, I'm not getting to create required INPUT Json. Considering I dont have functional knowledge on WorkFlows, is there any way I can get information as how to define these input Json structures for whole flow?

I'm stuck here, please help me with some break thru.

Regards
