Create new project via rest api over https

[ofer hai]

Hi,

I'm pretty new beginner with Jira REST api.

I've managed to compose a simple .net program that fetches a list of projects and issues.

My current task is to create a bridge via our own propriety projects managements system and Jira, therefore i need to be able to query projects,create projects and sub projects and report hours and assigned resources.

Are all the activities I've described are supported by REST api?

If you have links and maybe some examples how to, it would be great

Kind regards,

Ofer S. Hai

Create Project is indeed supported now by the JIRA REST API:

https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#api/2/project-createProject

[AshishUpadhyay]

A sample of REST API to create project.

Create Project in Jira
===================
HTTP method: POST
https://<companyName>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/project

User-Agent: Fiddler
Host: <companyName>.atlassian.net
Authorization: Basic YZNdaXNoMnVwYWToeqF5QHF1eXBtZW50pmlHOjIyY0gwRGJETW1hZGdJcnhCVH5NR7MJQg==
Content-Length: 176
Content-Type: application/json

Body
{"key": "FAPI",
"lead": "admin",
"name": "FromAPI",
"projectTemplateKey": "com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-simplified-kanban",
"projectTypeKey": "software"}

You need to have token to access REST API. You can get it from Jira itself.

Hope this helps!

Tired both v2 and v3 with the sample body payload and didn't get through.  The error showed:

{
"errorMessages": [
"You must have global administrator rights in order to modify projects."
],
"errors": {}
}

However, I was able to create a 'next-gen' (not classic)project through the UI.  With the limited rights, any chance I can create project by using REST at all?

You can create project using REST Api. Navigate to below URL.

[SPence]

Are there any plans to add the ability to create a project to the API?

[AshishUpadhyay]

Its added in the latest release. See my comment below.

[清水裕子]

I found a method to create new project on the following page.

https://jira.atlassian.com/rpc/json-rpc/jirasoapservice-v2/createProject

Isn't Create Project method available now (or not implemented yet) ?

[ofer hai]

Can i create issues and tasks via REST api ?

Can i assign an issue to a sprint ?

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

Yes. Assigning issues to Sprint needs JIRA Agile REST APIs. It is not public but you can figure it out from the calls using Firebug or Chrome developer tools and use them.

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

Methods like create project are not exposed via REST API. See https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/ for the full list of supported methods.
