Post Method for script runner

[Pradeep A]

Hi can somebody post your script for Posting Json information to a web API using script runner. I couldn't find it

[Peter-Dave Sheehan]

I like to use HttpBuilder or its simplified RESTClient

The simplest way to make a POST request is with the RESTClient

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient
import groovyx.net.http.Method
import groovyx.net.http.ContentType

def url = "https://some.domaim/"
def rest = new RESTClient(url)
def payload = [key:'value']
try{
   def response = rest.post(path:'endpointpath'. body:payload,requestContentType:ContentType.JSON)
   if(response.status == 200){
      return "Success"
   }
} catch(ex){
    return "POST failed with status: $ex.response.status"
}

I'm getting this error "illegal colon after argument line "

This was just an example, ultimately, you should review the documentation for ScriptRunner and HTTPBuilder.

But I see that I have a typo in my quickly put together example. I have dot where it should be a comma in the post method.

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient
import groovyx.net.http.Method
import groovyx.net.http.ContentType

def url = "https://some.domaim/"
def rest = new RESTClient(url)
def payload = [key:'value']
try{
   def response = rest.post(path:'endpointpath', body:payload, requestContentType:ContentType.JSON)
   if(response.status == 200){
      return "Success"
   }
} catch(ex){
    return "POST failed with status: $ex.response.status"
}
