Bitbucket Server API, Removing user from Group

[Matt Kimball]

Good Day All, I am attempting to remove a user from a group on my Bitbucket Server(v7.1.1) using the RestAPI via curl. I'm following the doc here(https://docs.atlassian.com/bitbucket-server/rest/7.6.0/bitbucket-rest.html#idp36)

Here is the curl syntax I am using

curl -D- -u user:* -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://*.*.com:8443/rest/api/1.0/admin/users/remove-group?&context=johnsmith&itemName=group1"

Here is my response error

HTTP/1.1 405

What can I do to fix my request? Maybe I am missing something in my syntax, I'm having trouble debugging this, I appreciate any advice here! Thank you.

Hey @Matt Kimball , Looking at the docs I think you need to use POST request, not a GET. Additionally, you need to covert the URL params to a JSON type payload.

You can click the "expand" button next to "Example request representations" to find the example JSON payload.

Don't forget to configure required headers to send a JSON request e.g. for cURL that will be "-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Thank you @Maciej Adamczak ! I made the changes you suggested and I am getting much better results now. Here is the syntax I am using

curl -D- -u "user:*" -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"context\": \"johnsmith\",\"itemName\": \"group1\"}" "https://*.*.com:8443/rest/api/1.0/admin/users/remove-group"
