How to store add-on properties on JIRA cloud using REST Api

Tharanga

I currently working on JIRA cloud addon. I want to store my addon properties on JIRA cloud by using REST apis. I refered this tutorial https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/storing-data-without-a-database/.

According to this for saving the properties, I used this REST call

Request :

PUT 

/rest/atlassian-connect/1/addons/<addon_key>/properties/<property_key>

Response :

{
 "status-code": 404,
 "message": "Add-on with key does not exist."
}

Could you please give me a solution to fix this or is there any other way to store add-on properties on JIRA cloud.

It sounds like the add-on key is not correct. Check your atlassian-connect.json file again and make sure that it matches the key there exactly. Everything else seems to be correct.

I checkd the key. It is correct. And again i check this call. I got success responce.

GET


/rest/atlassian-connect/1/addons/<addon_key>

In here i used basic auth and i authenticated as host user. Do i need to authenticated as addon.

@Tharanga,

Were you able to fix this issue ?

I'm having the exact same issue.

Thanks.

Any news on this?

I encountered the same problem. However, I authenticated with

AtlassianHostRestClients.authenticatedAsAddon()

from my plugin.

Thanks.

Although the answer "Add-on with key does not exist." points to a wrong add-on key, in my case the problem was the context. As the app-properties-api documentation sais

Request issued by a user with insufficient credentials, e.g. for an app's data by anyone but the app itself, or for a app that does not exist.

Where the interesting part in my case was "for an app's data by anyone but the app itself" meaning that the requests have to be send within the app (a simple GET request from the browser will fail with the given error)

I had to send the request from within the app (index.js). First a PUT and then a GET for the property

app.get('/store', addon.authenticate(), function (req, res) {
var userKey = req.query['user_key'];
var clientKey = req.context.clientKey;

var options = {
headers: {
'X-Atlassian-Token': 'nocheck'
      },
url: '/rest/atlassian-connect/1/addons/<add-on-key>/properties/<property-key>',
json: 'true'
   };

getHTTPClient(clientKey, userKey).put(options,
function (err, response, contents) {
getHTTPClient(clientKey, userKey).get(
'/rest/atlassian-connect/1/addons/<add-on-key>/properties/<property-key>',
function (err, response, contents) {
               contents = JSON.parse(contents);
               res.render('test', {
'test': contents,
'status': response.statusCode
               });
            });
      });
});

function getHTTPClient(clientKey, userKey) {
return addon.httpClient({
clientKey: clientKey,
userKey: userKey,
appKey: addon.key
   });
}

This just a simple example and not meatn for production

I can confirm this analysis: such requests can only be done programmatically from within the application. Requests sent from a browser will not work.

This answer should be marked as solution.

@Matthias Küspert: Are you sure this is not possible from the browser?

I don't know for the Properties API, but for Rest calls such as updating issues this is entirely possible with https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/jsapi/request/

Example:


declare var AP;

export class JiraIssueFronendAPI {

  public static async editIssue(issueKey: string, notifyUsers: boolean, updateDetails: IssueUpdateDetails): Promise<string> {

    return new Promise<string>(async function(ok, nok) {

      let url = `/rest/api/3/issue/${issueKey}?notifyUsers=${notifyUsers}`;

      let options = {
      type: "PUT",
      contentType: "application/json",
      data: JSON.stringify(updateDetails),
      success: function(responseText: string){
        ok(responseText);
      },
      error: function(xhr, statusText, errorThrown) {
        nok(xhr + " " + statusText + " " + errorThrown);
      }
      };

      AP.request(url, options);

    });//promise
  }//function

}
