Trying to Automate Project creation, blocked by REST API returning 500 status code

surya manne

I am trying to automate Project creation from an Automation Rule.

The GET REST API returns 200 response code, however, the "POST" API is returning 500

what am I missing?

http method POST - https://jira-xyz.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/project

Headers-
authorization: Basic setsdkjfkjhdxtjydfgl
Content-Type : application/json

custom data -
{
"notificationScheme": 10021,
"description": "Cloud migration initiative",
"leadAccountId": "569565786957",
"url": "https://jira-xyzabc.atlassian.net",
"avatarId": 10200,
"issueSecurityScheme": 10001,
"projectTemplateKey": "com.atlassian.jira-core-project-templates:jira-core-simplified-process-control",
"name": "Example",
"permissionScheme": 10011,
"assigneeType": "PROJECT_LEAD",
"projectTypeKey": "business",
"key": "EX",
"categoryId": 10120
}

@surya manne hi and welcome to the community!

On the post method you use this URL https://jira-xyz.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/project, but inside your date you use this one https://jira-xyzabc.atlassian.net

Could that possibly be the problem?

surya manne

@Alex Koxaras -Relational- Thanks for the response

I get the same 500 response as well while using " https://jira-xyz.atlassian.net" inside the data

Hi @surya manne ,

Here is a reference for creating a project API call:

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

Have you tried to use curl to call the API based on your params to see if it works?

Cheers,

Hi Joy

Same thing.

curl for POST does not work, however, curl GET works

Hi @surya manne

I've successfully managed to create a project via REST API, using the following code, which is suitable for me:

{
"notificationScheme": 10000,
"description": "Cloud migration initiative",
"url": "https://koxaras.atlassian.net",
"avatarId": 10200,
"issueSecurityScheme": 10000,
"leadAccountId": "5f9fb7c1c2e5390077abf628",
"projectTemplateKey": "com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira:gh-simplified-basic",
"name": "Example",
"permissionScheme": 10000,
"projectTypeKey": "software",
"key": "EX",
"categoryId": 10000
}

First and foremost, you have to make sure that the URL is the same both in your data, as well as on the webhook
Then you have to go ONE-BY-ONE and make sure that ALL IDs are valid for your instance
- notification scheme
- issue security scheme
- persmission
- category id
Then you have to add the correct LEAD id

In the example below, I change the project type to that of a kanban.

Hi @Alex Koxaras -Relational-

I get the same 500 response

Copied the above, changed the lead id (my account), URL(same for webhook and data), and used "10011" permission scheme
