Spider Architectuur

spider

The spider is an RPA independent platform. It provides access to the major RPA clients such as ING Roboplatform, UiPath, Automation Anywhere. If a robot can execute an API Request it is suitable to be paired with the Spider.

The development and execution of the processes built are done via RestAPI calls.

  • The front-end is addressed through the Dashboard API.
  • The Spider's platform runs on an Internet Information Server (IIS) with a SQL database.

The authorization of the components takes place through the API key available from a workstation ban be created in the Spider. For the Spider users (operators, security officers, approval officers), the authorization takes place through an Active Directory or through the Spider itself.

Connections are done primarily through HTTPS. HTTP is also a possibility. Nidaros recommends using an SSL certificate.

SQL server

Depending on the location of the SQL server (local on the same server, or remote), port 1433 should be open for communication with the Spider IIS server.

API Services

These take place via Rest API calls over an https connection.
