"No content to map to Object due to end of input" when trying to create an issue using REST API and CURL

Theresa Pitts

Here is my command:

curl -X POST -L -D- --insecure --cookie cfk --data {'fields': {'project':{'key':'ABCD'},'summary':' Test.','description':'Creating an issue using the REST API','issuetype':{'id':'3'}}} -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://m.company.com/issues/rest/api/latest/issue/

I assume I am getting this error due to the formatting of --data. How should the --data portion of the CURL command be formatted? Or is there something else wrong?

Hi Theresa, you can see an example of REST call with CURL to create an issue in JIRA here. You can define the data portion as this example:

{
    "fields": {
       "project":
       {
          "key": "TEST"
       },
       "summary": "REST ye merry gentlemen.",
       "description": "Creating of an issue using project keys and issue type names using the REST API",
       "issuetype": {
          "name": "Bug"
       }
   }
}

Cheers
