Create Project using REST API

Sunil Singh_8kauzu

Hi 

I have looked at the couple of threads but not able to create project out of it.

Following is my code 

 

var _serviceUrl = Helper.Configuration.JIRAUrl + "/rest/api/3/project";
var payLoad = "{ \"key\": \"" + projectName.Substring(0, 2) + "\"," +
" \"name\": \"" + projectName + "\"," +
" \"projectTypeKey\": \"software\"," +
" \"projectTemplateKey\": \"com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-simplified-kanban\"," +
" \"description\": \"Example Project description\"," +
" \"lead\": \"admin\""+
"}";
var ItemValue = new StringContent(payLoad, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
var result = HttpJIRAOnline("POST", _serviceUrl, ItemValue);

 

 

Error:

@Sunil Singh  Welcome to the community.

HTTP Status Code 400 for this API implies that you are passing in some wrong values for project object.

Here is brief idea,

• key - has to be capitalized  and less than 10 characters (please check if you are passing small case character in it)
• projectName - seems to be correct in your case
• projectTypeKey - 'software' is correct here

• projectTemplateKey - you are not passing correct value here 'com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-simplified-kanban' doesn't exists, it should be 'com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-simplified-kanban-classic'

• description - looks fine
• lead - this is deprecated parameter use 'leadAccountId' and pass accountId of `admin` in it.

 

I hope these changes will resolve your issue.
