What's New in V26.0 - Rest API

In this video, Marcin shows you the practical changes to the AE REST API in Automic Automation V26. The focus is on REST calls that are truly helpful in day-to-day operations and object management: OAuth configuration, database maintenance, object versions, and new AI endpoints. You’ll get a concise overview without having to wade through a complete API reference.
Automic Automation V26 expands the AE REST API in several areas that are directly relevant for operations and integrations. This article covers the most important REST API enhancements in version 26: OAuth for REST, new admin functions, Object Versions, practical extensions for object and content work, as well as the new AI endpoints. A central point is UC_OAUTH_SETTINGS. This variable defines the OAuth2 and JWT configuration for access to the AE REST API. This includes the JWKS_URL for verifying JWT signatures, JWT_ID_KEYS for identifying user or application tokens, and JWT_SCOPES for restricting accepted OAuth2 scopes. This enables better integration of REST access with modern identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID, Google, or Okta. This article helps you answer these questions more clearly:
  • Which REST API changes in Automic Automation V26 are important for administrators?
  • What role does UC_OAUTH_SETTINGS play in OAuth2 and JWT?
  • How can Database Maintenance, Revision Reports, CAU Target Reset, and Agent Filtering be supported via REST?
  • When are Object Versions useful via REST?
  • Which new AI endpoints are there and what do they provide?
In addition to the admin topics, the article shows where the REST API becomes more useful in everyday work. These include object versions, STATIC VARA entries, search, Recycle Bin, SLOs, and other API extensions from the REST API diff between 24.4 and 26.0. For AI it also covers LLMs, MCP Server, Object Descriptions, and structured prompts. The focus is on context and practical relevance. The video does not replace a complete REST API reference but shows which new features you should know for operations, design, and integration.
