Powershell - Watcher API body

Karsten_j8hace

Hi

 

I have been poking around with the V2 API, and are currently having issues with the Watcher part.

The Jira Cloud platform REST API (atlassian.com)

 

If i execute this code, then the account that have logged in are added as a watcher - just as described in the documentation:

 

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://company.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/Ticket-ID/watchers" -Headers $Headers -Method POST -ContentType "application/json"

 

But i want to specify another user, based on that users AccountID - so i came up with this:

$Body = {

    accountId = '123-456-789' #This part is redacted

} | ConvertTo-Json

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://company.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/Ticket-ID/watchers" -Headers $Headers -Method POST -ContentType "application/json" -Body $Body

 

I have even tried with just just having body as a string - $body = "123-456-789"

Both of these give an error 400.

 

How should the body look, for this to work?
