Hosted Action Providers

Globus provides and operates a number of action providers which may be invoked directly or used within flows. Below is a brief summary of the action providers being operated including specific information on their URLs, scopes, and a summary of their functionality. Specific input specifications are not provided as they may be retrieved from the action provider directly via introspection:

globus-automate action introspect --action-url <action_url>

Or simply click on the URL to view the introspection results in a browser.

Note

When running Globus-hosted action providers the action subcommands do not require the use of the --action-scope option as these Action Providers are publicly visible. If interacting with a non-publicly visible Provider, all action subcommands will require the --action-scope option followed with the action provider’s corresponding scope value.
