# TAP Gateway Agent API References

Once properly configured, bot orchestration relies on both TAP Assistant and TAP Gateway Agent correct installation and communication. 

The TAP Gateway Agent receives REST requests which it then attempts to use to trigger Windows Session creation and to start the target automation.

The following subsections will provide detailed information on all available API endpoints and their respective parameters:

1. [Heartbeat Request](/getting-started/tailent-gateway-agent/tap-gateway-agent-api-references/heartbeat-request.md)
2. [Start Session Bot](/getting-started/tailent-gateway-agent/tap-gateway-agent-api-references/start-session-bot.md)
3. [Bot List](/getting-started/tailent-gateway-agent/tap-gateway-agent-api-references/bot-list.md)
4. [Get Bot Response](/getting-started/tailent-gateway-agent/tap-gateway-agent-api-references/get-bot-response.md)
