Question

How to run data catalog lookup checks using Custom Activity in the Process Skill?

Answer

Use Public API requests to interact with the data catalogs: 

• get the list of the data catalogs to check the ID of the catalog the Custom Activity will work with;
  GET https://vantage-{region}.abbyy.com/api/publicapi/v1/catalogs
• get the list of data catalog records via the following API request, where the catalog_id is the id of the catalog from the previous step, the offset is the pagination offset, and the limit is the maximum number of records to return;
  GET https://vantage-{region}.abbyy.com/api/publicapi/v1/catalogs/catalog_id/records?offset=0&limit=1000
• match the field(s) on the document(s) in the transaction with the catalog record(s): should be handled with the JS code and depends on the scenario;
• update the document fields according to the results returned from the data catalog if needed.

To send the requests there must be a valid access token generated using any of the authentication flows available in Vantage and a token refresh implemented if such functionality is needed.

The {region} indicates the location of the Vantage instance where the tenant is located: us/eu/au.
