Hi @Veeranjaneyulu Kureti 

I don't think you're connecting to the Project API hence such error. you should use in the url variable.

 https://rasateam.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/project

Then specify the fields you want available during creation in your json payload. A Python example is shown on the developers doc here

[Veeranjaneyulu Kureti]

Hi @Prince Nyeche 

Thanks for your response. 

I wanted to create an issue in the Project, Here where I am facing the issue.

So as per your suggestion first you want me to connect to the project and there you wanted me to create an issue ? 

As I am able to retrieve the Project and Issue details but unable to create a project.

Can you please elaborate a bit how we can create an issue in the required project.

Thanks in advance !! 

[Prince Nyeche]

Hey @Veeranjaneyulu Kureti 

If you simply want to create an issue, use the create issue API to do that, in your request payload that's where you specify the project to connect to. Creating Issues or Projects are separate APIs, so if you want to do either use the designated API to achieve your aim.

[Veeranjaneyulu Kureti]

Thanks Prince.

The API code which mentioned above and causing the error is for the Create issue API.

If you can please have a look into my code and check which required details I am missing in the mentioned python code Because it is causing this error.

Please help me with which details I am missing in it.

[Prince Nyeche]

Do you have a Project with id:10000 on your Instance? you might want to check the Id of the project you're trying to create this issue on.

[Veeranjaneyulu Kureti]

@Prince NyecheYes Prince, It is the project Id : 10000 on my instance. and when I am trying to get to details I am able to get details of issue and project but unable to create project or Issue.

Please help me that might I am missing any fields or anything as I set the "customfield_N0000": None custom filed none and Initially it thrown that I am not suppose to set that ..can you please suggest me how what are all the fields required for creating the issue. Will take that as reference and check with my case. Thanks!! Please check the above code and let me know . Thanks in advance!!

[Prince Nyeche]

Hi @Veeranjaneyulu Kureti 

So  I examined the json and it seems that the way you nested it was wrong. all those other fields should be nested inside of the "field": {  }  element. That's why that error was occuring. I cleaned the code up a bit for you. Please give it a try.

import requests
import json
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth


def main():
    url = "https://<yourinstance>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/"
    auth = HTTPBasicAuth("<emailaddress>", "<apitoken>")
    headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}

    payload = {
        "update": {

        },
        "fields": {
            "summary": "Creating first ticket from API  ",
            "project": {
                "id": "10016"
            },

            "issuetype": {
                "id": "10004"
            },
            "description": None,
            "reporter": {
                "id": "5d2c28bd9dshdsddf9f"
            },
            "fixVersions": [

            ],
            "priority": {
                "id": "3"
            },
            "labels": [
                "bugfix",
                "blitz_test"
            ],
            "assignee": {
                "id": "5ab519dshdshdshdbb2b2"
            }
        }
    }

    response = requests.post(url, auth=auth, json=payload, headers=headers)
    data = json.loads(response.content)
    print(data)

Yes @Prince Nyeche Its working fine now Thank you so much!!

[Veeranjaneyulu Kureti]

Hi @Prince Nyeche  Its working fine now Thank you so much!!

But Here I can able to create and delete the Issues and get details about the issue in a project. But I am facing issue with creating a project and editing the issue through API.

Can you please suggest codes for that as well ?? If you don't mine sorry for bothering you much!! 

[Prince Nyeche]

Hey @Veeranjaneyulu Kureti  Are you using some form of SDK or Library to do this, or you're simply calling different script at a time. Can you post the sample code you're using so far for project creation and editing the issue and any errors you've gotten so far?

Hey @Veeranjaneyulu Kureti 

Basically, i looked at the json and it seems that you're not properly formatting it and using wrong methods in the request. There are 3 things you need to be aware of here

1. PUT request  in the context of Edit issue does not return  a json response, so you can use a status_code to check if it was successful or not.
2. Check your permissions for comment issue to ensure you have the right ones in terms of setting comment visibility, ensure you're in the right role.
3. Project creation use leadaccountId, i believe the example in the Doc is wrong, so you might want to take note of this.

Just wanted to give you a baseline of how you could go about this, since you will be calling "GET", "PUT", "POST". it's better to have a method for this and pass the url and payload at will. I created this script to show you an example of how it would look.

Furthermore, for Edit issue, you should take a look at the fields from this endpoint /rest/api/3/field grab the field id if you want to PUT to a custom field. I wrote the example of some common field with how their payload should look like.
