I’ve tried reviewing results from /schedules. This doesn’t seem to include our schedule triggers in automations.Neither /automations or /automations/{id} return the required information.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

What version of FME Flow?

 

In 2025 you can go to schedules and then switch the source to Automations 

 

You can also get details via the rest api

FMEURL/fmeapiv4/schedules?limit=100&offset=0&sourceType=automation

or

FMEURL/fmerest/v3/schedules?includeAutomations=true&limit=-1&offset=-1

depending on version

Hey Adam, 

The FME Flow API does not allow retrieving the contents of Automations. It will not be possible to do this in this way.

Another approach would be to read the FME Flow application database and consult the fme_automation_node tables to retrieve the triggers, and then perform a join on the fme_automation table to retrieve the automation name. However, I would not recommend directly accessing the contents of the FME Flow database.

Hi,
Thank you for that information. Yes we are on 2024 so don’t have that option yet.

Will have to look at upgrades.

The same menu is present in 2024 (i wasn’t sure without checking), however i think the API call is more useful as Automations that are triggered by basic schedules just give you the detail of e.g. Once a day without any indication of what time of day that is.
