Hi Chris, unfortunately none of us here have played around with the API yet. I would recommend inquiring on the galaxy-central's mailing list ( mailto:galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu <galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu>). - workflows, histories, libraries, and datasets have IDs in the database but they may be obscured in the URLs used in galaxy; in the db they're just integer primary keys - histories must exist to do any work, but you can create a new history On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 4:32 PM, Craig Blackhart <blackhart@lanl.gov> wrote:
I am newish to Galaxy and trying to learn how I might integrate it with our workflows and LIMS for automated data handling. I am aware of the API and have looked up all the documentation that I could find. However, there are many things I cannot make sense of, and have not been able to find information to help me out. I think a good place to start asking questions is with how to run workflow_execute.py and ask what each of the parameters are and where to get the information from them****

Arguments****
*API key – got this and understand****
*url – got this and understand****
*workflow_id – I have created workflows and have been able to find what looks to be a workflow_id by clicking on the workflow name and selecting “Download or Export”. It seems this may be correct, is it?****
*history – a named history to use? Should this already exist? I have no idea here.****
*step=src=dataset_id - ??? I have no idea ??? I have seen how to create data libraries manually at the command line; does this factor in?****

If anyone has information they can help me out with, it would be much appreciated.****
