Adding news via REST API

Added by Adur Seminole about 4 years ago

Can someone provide some (or any) guidance on the XML syntax for news creation via API? Patch #13468. I am new to Redmine. Thanks.

After inspecting the link by Bernhard below, I was able to draft the following code in VBA, but still, I am not able to POST news to my localhost/Redmine.

I wonder what I am doing wrong. My Redmine Install is version 4.1.0.stable.

Example for Creating News

POST /projects/:project_id/news.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<news>
  <title>Sample_title</title>
  <summary>Example</summary>
  <description>Sample Description</description>
</news>

VBA Sample Code

Private Sub News()

    Dim req As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
    Dim reqURL As String
    Dim reqBody As String

    reqURL = "http://localhost/redmine/projects/_0000067/news.xml" 
    req.Open "POST", reqURL, False

    req.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/xml" 

    reqBody = "<?xml version=" & Chr(34) & "1.0" & Chr(34) & "encoding=" & Chr(34) & "UTF-8" & Chr(34) & " ?>" 
    reqBody = reqBody & "<news>" 
    reqBody = reqBody & "<title>" & "Test_Title" & "</title>" 
    reqBody = reqBody & "<summary>" & "Test_Summary" & "</summary>" 
    reqBody = reqBody & "<description>" & "Test_Description" & "</description>" 
    reqBody = reqBody & "</news>" 

    req.send (reqBody)

End Sub

I haven't tried the news API, yet. But one can find good examples in the tests for that part. There you have prototypes for all kinds of requests.

I have success with adding news

curl -v --header "Content-Type:application/xml;charset=UTF-8" -u "user:pass" --data @xmltest.xml http://host:port/projects/1/news.xml

xmltest.xml:
<news>
<title>NewsXmlApiTest</title>
<summary>News XML-API Test</summary>
<description>This is the description</description>
</news>

Redmine responds 204 No Content, but creates news entry.

In case someone will be searching for json version with API key:

POST https://host:port/projects/1/news.json?key=$API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
{
  "news": {
    "title": "Created via Redmine API.",
    "summary": "This news was created via Redmine API.",
    "description": "You can create news by sending an HTTP request to Redmine API." 
  }
}

Or with curl:

curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8" --data @redmine.json https://host:port/projects/1/news.json\?key\=$API_KEY

redmine.json:
{
  "news": {
    "title": "Created via Redmine API.",
    "summary": "This news was created via Redmine API.",
    "description": "You can create news by sending an HTTP request to Redmine API." 
  }
}
