Hi,
see: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Rest_Issues#Updating-an-issue

here is an example using curl:

  curl -x '' -H 'X-Redmine-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' http://YOUR_REDMINE_SERVER/issues/ISSUE_ID.json -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"issue": {"notes": "This is a note added via API"}}'

Trying the following command. The Note does not show up in the issue. I can log into the project and update the issue via the web browser, so I know its not a permissions issue.

Note: I am using SSL with a self signed certificate.

I can view the issue in a web browser - https://servername/issues/1


$ curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X POST -d '{"issue": {"notes": "This is a note added via API"}}' -k -u username https://servername/issues/1.json

The status reports Status: 400 Bad Request. Any ideas?

Enter host password for user 'username':
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.

RE: How can i add a comment to a issue via REST API? - Added by Brian Rose over 5 years ago

Updated request to (content type = json instead of xml)

curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"issue": {"notes": "This is a note added via API"}}' -k -u username https://servername/issues/1

Now I am getting a Redmine 404 error.

Do I need to do something different with the URL in the POST command?

Curl GET appears to work. I get a long output with all the javascript and page contents.


curl -v GET -k -u username https://servername/issues/1/

RE: How can i add a comment to a issue via REST API? - Added by Mayama Takeshi over 5 years ago

To update an issue you should use method PUT instead of POST.
So you should have used:

  curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"issue": {"notes": "This is a note added via API"}}' -u username https://servername/issues/1.json

And to get data from issue, add xml or json at the end of the URL:

  curl -v -u username https://servername/issues/1.json

Otherwise, you'll get content for browser consumption instead of reply for an API call.
