Making a REST call using script runner

Mike Whitlock

Hi. I need to make a REST call to another application from JIRA. The call needs to do a post of json data. I have spent all day googling this and can't come up with anything. Does someone have an example of where they are posting json in a groovy script? I am trying to do this in script runner. Thanks in advance. Mike

Hi Mike,

I've found https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/178254/calling-rest-api-from-within-script-runner-post-function-and-needed-librariesthat might help you a little, at least to start.

Thanks Pedro. Here is an update...

I can run a GET just fine and it works...

def curl = "/usr/bin/curl -u admin:admin http://itest.com/jira/rest/api/2/issue/ITCMTEST-245"

def output = curl.execute().text

However, when I run the POST below, I get the following errors (I think it has to do with the double quotes and single quotes... I tried to escape them but get error '415 - Unsupported Media Type'... has someone been able to get this to work if so PLEASE help)...

def curl = "/usr/bin/curl -u admin:admin -X POST -d \'{\"fields\":{\"project\":{\"id\":\"12660\"},\"summary\":\"MIKE\",\"description\":\"BART\",\"issuetype\":{\"id\":\"76\"}}}\' -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" http://itest.com/jira/rest/api/2/issue/"

def output = curl.execute().text

ERROR = <html><head><title>Apache Tomcat/7.0.29 - Error report</title><style></style> </head><body><h1>HTTP Status 415 - Unsupported Media Type</h1><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><p><b>type</b> Status report</p><p><b>message</b> <u>Unsupported Media Type</u></p><p><b>description</b> <u>The server refused this request because the request entity is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method (Unsupported Media Type).</u></p><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><h3>Apache Tomcat/7.0.29</h3></body></html>

Here is the script I'm using to POST a translate text to translation service.

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper;
import groovy.json.StreamingJsonBuilder;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;

def user = "jira";
def issueID = "";

IssueManager issueManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getIssueManager();
//MutableIssue Issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("DEMO-467");
MutableIssue Issue = issue;
issueID = Issue.getKey();
def issueType = Issue.issueTypeObject.name;
def textToTranslate = "";
def targetLanguage = "";
def originalLanguage ="";
def languagesCodes = [
English:"EN",
Spanish:"ES",
Franch:"FR",
German:"DE",
Polish:"PL",
Russian :"RU",
Japanese:"JP",
Portugese:"PT",
Italian:"IT",
Dutch:"NL",
Turkish:"TR",
Czech:"CZ",
]




textToTranslate = "text to translate"

targetLanguage = Issue.getCustomFieldValue(targetLanguageObject);


def body_req = [
	"user": user,
	"jiraTicket":issueID,
    "route":"/resources/text",
	"targetLang":languagesCodes[targetLanguage],
	"reqText":textToTranslate
]

def baseURL = "http://production.******.com/api/translation";

URL url;

url = new URL(baseURL);

URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.requestMethod = "POST"
connection.doOutput = true
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8")
connection.outputStream.withWriter("UTF-8") { new StreamingJsonBuilder(it, body_req) }
connection.connect();


println("url: " + url);
println("Content:" + connection.getContent())
println("ResponseCode:" + connection.getResponseCode())
println("getResponseMessage:" + connection.getResponseMessage())
