## Start Workflow API

|
||||
|
||||
### HTTP / gRPC
|
||||
Developers can start workflow instances by issuing an HTTP (or gRPC) API call to the Dapr sidecar:
|
||||
## <Action or task>
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
POST http://localhost:3500/v1.0/workflows/{workflowType}/{instanceId}/start
|
||||
```
|
||||
<!--
|
||||
Unlike quickstarts, do not use "Step 1", "Step 2", etc.
|
||||
-->
|
||||
|
||||
Workflows are assumed to have a type that is identified by the {workflowType} parameter. Each workflow instance must also be created with a unique {instanceId} value. The payload of the request is the input of the workflow. If a workflow instance with this ID already exists, this call will fail with an HTTP 409 Conflict.
|
||||
## <Action or task>
|
||||
|
||||
To support asynchronous HTTP polling pattern by HTTP clients, this API will return an HTTP 202 Accepted response with a Location header containing a URL that can be used to get the status of the workflow (see further below). When the workflow completes, this endpoint will return an HTTP 200 response. If it fails, the endpoint can return a 4XX or 5XX error HTTP response code. Some of these details may need to be configurable since there is no universal protocol for async API handling.
|
||||

|
||||
Each H2 step should start with a verb/action word.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Input bindings
|
||||
For certain types of automation scenarios, it can be useful to trigger new instances of workflows directly from Dapr input bindings. For example, it may be useful to trigger a workflow in response to a tweet from a particular user account using the Twitter input binding. Another example is starting a new workflow in response to a Kubernetes event, like a deployment creation event.
|
||||
|
||||
The instance ID and input payload for the workflow depends on the configuration of the input binding. For example, a user may want to use a Tweet’s unique ID or the name of the Kubernetes deployment as the instance ID.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pub/Sub
|
||||
Workflows can also be started directly from pub/sub events, similar to the proposal for Actor pub/sub. Configuration on the pub/sub topic can be used to identify an appropriate instance ID and input payload to use for initializing the workflow. In the simplest case, the source + ID of the cloud event message can be used as the workflow’s instance ID.
|
||||
|
||||
## Terminate workflow API
|
||||
### HTTP / gRPC
|
||||
Workflow instances can also be terminated using an explicit API call.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
POST http://localhost:3500/v1.0/workflows/{workflowType}/{instanceId}/terminate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Workflow termination is primarily an operation that a service operator takes if a particular business process needs to be cancelled, or if a problem with the workflow requires it to be stopped to mitigate impact to other services.
|
||||
|
||||
If a payload is included in the POST request, it will be saved as the output of the workflow instance.
|
||||
|
||||
## Raise Event API
|
||||
Workflows are especially useful when they can wait for and be driven by external events. For example, a workflow could subscribe to events from a pubsub topic as shown in the Phone Verification sample. However, this capability shouldn’t be limited to pub/sub events.
|
||||
|
||||
### HTTP / gRPC
|
||||
An API should exist for publishing events directly to a workflow instance:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
POST http://localhost:3500/v1.0/workflows/{workflowType}/{instanceId}/raiseEvent
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The result of the "raise event" API is an HTTP 202 Accepted, indicating that the event was received but possibly not yet processed. A workflow can consume an external event using the waitForExternalEvent SDK method.
|
||||
|
||||
## Get workflow metadata API
|
||||
|
||||
### HTTP / gRPC
|
||||
Users can fetch the metadata of a workflow instance using an explicit API call.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
GET http://localhost:3500/v1.0/workflows/{workflowType}/{instanceId}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The result of this call is workflow instance metadata, such as its start time, runtime status, completion time (if completed), and custom or runtime-specific status. If supported by the target runtime, workflow inputs and outputs can also be fetched using the query API.
|
||||
|
||||
## Purge workflow metadata API
|
||||
Users can delete all state associated with a workflow using the following API:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
DELETE http://localhost:3500/v1.0/workflows/{workflowType}/{instanceId}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When using the embedded workflow component, this will delete all state stored by the workflow’s underlying actor(s).

Dapr has a metadata API that returns information about the sidecar allowing runtime discoverability. The metadata endpoint returns a list of the components loaded, the activated actors (if present) and attributes with information attached.
