It provides two main interfaces\u2014`inputs` for reading work items from a queue and `outputs` for creating new work items\u2014allowing robots to consume data from one step and produce data for the next. Each work item contains a JSON payload (key-value pairs) and can optionally include files stored within Control Room.\n\nThe library is designed to integrate with robocorp-tasks for task decoration and uses requests and tenacity for HTTP communication and retry logic. It supports iterating over all available input items or accessing the current item, and allows modification of inputs and exception-based flow control. Local development is supported, and the library handles file attachment management transparently.","worth_installing":"Yes. Active maintenance, low install friction, permissive license, no known vulnerabilities, and tight integration with Robocorp's automation platform make this a solid choice for building multi-step robotic processes. Install if you are building workflows in Robocorp Control Room or developing robots that need to consume and produce queued work items."},"id":"robocorp-workitems","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robocorp-workitems","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robocorp-workitems.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/robocorp-workitems/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"robocorp-workitems","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Robocorp Work Items library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":328990,"position":7549,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.0"}
