Create Project with template over REST call (Postman)

[Langer Lukas]

Hello!
I am trying to create a project over a REST call (POST) via Postman, but I am only gettig Error 400 back.

I got the code from the Atlassian Support, just changed some values for my reasons.

Error I am getting back in Postman is:
"Invalid request payload. Refer to the REST API documentation and try again."

I allready did the stringify workaround, but I am sending the call as JSON via Postman.

AND I am using this code in an Automation to create a project from a web request.

The Postman code might be wrong, but the web request should work.

Here is my code - values are cleared for Data privacy reasons, but in my code they are filled correctly.

{

"details": {

  "key": "TSTPFV",

  "name": "Testproject in Postman for validation",

  "description": "",

  "accessLevel": "OPEN",

  "leadAccountId": "--",

  "projectTypeKey": "software",

  "enableComponents": true

 },

  "template": {

   "scope": {

    "type": "GLOBAL"

    }

   "project": {

    "pcri": "pcri:project:id:--",

    "fieldLayoutSchemeId": "pcri:fieldLayoutSchemeId:id:--",

    "issueTypeSchemeId": "pcri:issueTypeScheme:id:--",

    "notificationSchemeId": "pcri:notificationScheme:id:--",

    "permissionSchemeId": "pcri:permissionScheme:id:--",

    "workflowSchemeId": "pcri:workflowScheme:id:--"

    }

   "board": {

    "pcri": "pcri:board:id:--",

    "name": "TSTPFV board",

    "enableSprint": false,

    "columns": [

     {

      "name": "Backlog",

      "statusIds": [

       "pcri:status:id:--"

      ]

     },

 {

      "name": "Selected for Development",

      "statusIds": [

       "pcri:status:id:--"

      ]

     },

     {

      "name": "In Progress",

      "statusIds": [

       "pcri:status:id:3"

      ]

     },

     {

      "name": "Done",

      "statusIds": [

       "pcri:status:id:--"

      ]

     }

    ]

   }

  }

 }

HI @Langer Lukas 

Which API endpoint are you using to create a project?

I just did this on my free tier and it worked, the payload in Postman I used as example

{

"assigneeType": "UNASSIGNED",

"avatarId": 10200,

"description": "API test",

"key": "API",

"leadAccountId": "<account_id>",

"name": "API cretaed project",

"projectTemplateKey": "com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-simplified-agility-kanban",

"projectTypeKey": "software",

"url": "http://atlassian.com"

}

Hi @Langer Lukas 

According to Postman, this is the body you need:

https://www.postman.com/api-evangelist/atlassian-jira/request/l0flj0q/create-project

The JIRA API

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-projects/#api-rest-api-3-project-post

The body:

{

"key": "<string>",

"name": "<string>",

"projectTypeKey": "<string>",

"projectTemplateKey": "<string>",

"description": "<string>",

"lead": "<string>",

"leadAccountId": "<string>",

"url": "<string>",

"assigneeType": "<string>",

"avatarId": "<long>",

"issueSecurityScheme": "<long>",

"permissionScheme": "<long>",

"notificationScheme": "<long>",

"categoryId": "<long>"

}

An example that works, taken from here:

{

"key": "SOF",

 "name": "Software Sample",

 "projectTypeKey": "software",

 "projectTemplateKey": "com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-scrum-template",

 "description": "Example Project description",

 "leadAccountId": "61f93c0fb3ec760068c11a32",

 "assigneeType": "PROJECT_LEAD",

 "avatarId": "27370"

 }'

Also make sure you have the administer jira global permissions.

Hi @Aaron Pavez _ServiceRocket_
So I downloaded the Postman Collection of REST API v3 from the Atlassian Developer site (The Jira Cloud platform REST API)

There I started the "Create custom project" POST call.

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-project-templates/#api-rest-api-3-project-template-post

with the code I did post here.

The code I got from an Atlassian Developer.

So here is the thing:
I want to create a project using a custom template. The project should be created by an automation via web request.
