Benchling Workflow Task Schema API

A configuration template that defines the structure and behavior of `WorkflowTask` instances.Each schema specifies an `executionType` (direct, entry, or flowchart) andcustom `fieldDefinitions` for task data. Schemas belong to an `Organization` and can optionally reference an `entryTemplate`for entry-based execution or a `flowchartConfig` for flowchart-based execution. The `prefix`and `taskGroupPrefix` fields define the human-readable ID format for tasks and task groups.Default folders can be configured via `defaultCreationFolder` and `defaultEntryExecutionFolder`.Schemas support `responsibleParties` for default assignment and `validationRules` for datavalidation (see `HasValidationRules`). The associated `workflowOutputSchema` defines thestructure of outputs produced by tasks of this schema.

Benchling Workflow Task Schema API is one of 203 APIs that Benchling publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include WorkflowTaskSchema. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, authentication docs, rate-limit docs, and a changelog.

This API exposes 3 operations across 3 paths, and defines 63 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 2.0.0.

Requests are made against a single base URL, /api/v3.

Authentication & Security 3

Benchling Workflow Task Schema API declares 3 security schemes for authenticating requests. It accepts HTTP basic authentication (basicApiKeyAuth). It accepts HTTP basic authentication (basicClientIdSecretAuth). It supports OAuth 2.0 (oAuth) using the clientCredentials flow. By default, every request must be authenticated.

  • basicApiKeyAuth — Use issued API key for standard access to the API
  • basicClientIdSecretAuth — Auth used as part of client credentials OAuth flow prior to receiving a bearer token.
  • oAuth — OAuth2 Client Credentials flow intended for service access

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Benchling Workflow Task Schema API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
