Insight-Cloud create multiple objects via API

Mathias Scheck

Hey,

unfortunately, I cannot find a REST-API-endpoint for creating multiple Insight-objects (does such a endpoint exist, where you can POST a Json-Array of objects to create?).

So, I´m trying to create multiple (single) Insight-objects via sequential REST-API-calls (endpoint: POST /jsm/insight/workspace/{workspaceId}/v1/object/create), but it will only create the first item, the other REST-calls give me an error 500 (Internal Server Error).

I use Basic-Auth for authentication with Username/API-Token. Could the problem be solved with using the Session-ID instead of Basic-Auth?

Ah, before I forget ... I use Insight on Cloud.

BR,

Mathias

Ok, found the issue... an Enum-Value i tried to create had a trailing space-sign.

For everyone, who has the same issue, precisely check if all uploaded Enum-Values (= Status- and Select-Fields) are identical to their in Insight-Attributes configured counterparts.

Issue resolved.

Hi @Mathias Scheck can you share the sample payload for it, I'm also trying to create multiple objects in one single call.

Mathias Scheck

It´s not possible to create multiple Insight-objects in one single call afaik.

I´m sending multiple requests via POST at the Insight-endpoint: <a href="https://api.atlassian.com/jsm/insight/workspace/%7BworkspaceId%7D/v1/object/create" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://api.atlassian.com/jsm/insight/workspace/{workspaceId}/v1/object/create</a>

via loop in my C#-tool that I´ve written.

In each request, I send a body like this:

{
  "objectTypeId": "23",
  "attributes": [
    {
      "objectTypeAttributeId": "135",
      "objectAttributeValues": [
        {
          "value": "myValue"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "objectTypeAttributeId": "144",
      "objectAttributeValues": [
        {
          "value": "99"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

creating one object after another.

The request-body is described here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/insight/rest/api-group-object/#api-object-create-post

Hint: If you want to update linked-objects (= referenced objects), you have to give the key of the object you want to reference as "value" like this:

"attributes": [
  {
    "objectTypeAttributeId": "300",
    "objectAttributeValues": [
  {
    "value": "KEY_OF_LINKED_OBJECT"
  }
 ]
},

as PUT on this endpoint:

<a href="https://api.atlassian.com/jsm/insight/workspace/%7BworkspaceId%7D/v1/object/%7Bid" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://api.atlassian.com/jsm/insight/workspace/{workspaceId}/v1/object/{id</a>}

as described here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/INSIGHT-How-to-Create-an-object-with-dependency-using-REST-API/qaq-p/1444790

I hope this will help you!

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I'm gonna do the same looping thing for now but wanted to see if there is a way to create all in one single call to jira cloud.

I'm glad you shared about linking objects (I didn't know about that earlier). Thank you !!
