Bamboo REST API: Not returning XML responses

steven_green

Using Postman I'm trying to get Bamboo REST API calls to return in XML format, however the server replies with a 406 Not Acceptable response. Following the documentation here I'm sending an Accept header with the value "application/xml".

If I make the same call either omitting the header or specifying "application/json" I get the expected JSON response.

I couldn't find any API-related settings in the Bamboo admin menu, nor any documentation suggesting XML responses had been deprecated or removed.

What am I missing?

 

Example request headers:

GET /rest/api/latest/deploy/environment/207781962/results HTTP/1.1
Host: bamboo.wnet.local
Accept: application/xml
Authorization: Basic #############
User-Agent: PostmanRuntime/7.15.2

Bamboo Server version: 6.8.1

Hi @steven_green ,

I am afraid this REST API endpoint will only provide you a JSON response as its implementation only produces JSON and not XML:

@Path(RestConstants.DEPLOYMENT_ENDPOINT + "/" + RestConstants.ENVIRONMENT)
@Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
@Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
@Singleton
public class DeploymentEnvironmentResource {
...

/**
 * Provide list of versions deployed to environment
 *
...
@GET
@Path("{environmentId}/results")
public RestDeploymentResultList getDeploymentResultList(

The same information is available on Bamboo's REST API documentation - https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-bamboo/REST/6.8.1/

Kind regards,
Rafael
