Using the REST api from Bamboo on demand

Using the REST api from Bamboo on demand

The latest I can find on this is this question and the link in the third answer is dead

https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/236167

This was last updated in 2013 and I wondered if there is a way of triggering Cloud Bamboo build plans via cURL?

Hello Lee,

Please, run the following http://myhost.com:8085/bamboo/rest/api/latest/info [GET]:

# [USERNAME], i.e.: myuser
# [MYCOMPANY], i.e.: mycompany
curl -D- -u [USERNAME] -p -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://[MYCOMPANY].atlassian.net/builds/rest/api/latest/info

Sharing this for others having the same issue.

AUTHENTICATION_DENIED on the login meant the user needed to fill out the CAPTCHA due to too many failed login attempts.

I went to the application we were trying to use the API for and logged in. Once successfully answering the CAPTCHA the login then worked though the API.

tried this - and it worked.

curl -D- -u admin:<PASSWORD> -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://<COMPANY>.atlassian.net/builds/rest/api/latest/info

the trick is to use admin as the user and the normal account password. The <COMPANY>.atlassian.net is the url that was setup when you first signed up for bamboo.

Hello Lee, Please, do not add extra parameters to the URL provided (no Authorization:Basic ***, no ?os_authType=basic). Just copy and run the cURL I have provided as it is by only replacing [USERNAME] and [MYCOMPANY]. [USERNAME] cannot be an email address as you have attempted earlier — Kind regards, Rafael P.

Ahhhh thanks, I was always under the impression that my username was my email. When I changed it my actual username that I went hunting for in my profile it worked! I was then able to add basic authorisation headers which saved me having to do a two step authentication process....many thanks

Also tried the following command too

curl -D- -p -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization:Basic ***" -X GET "http://mycompany.atlassian.net/builds/rest/api/latest?os_authType=basic"

So I tried your curl...

curl -D- -u lee.myring@mycompany.com -p -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET "https://mycompany.atlassian.net/builds/rest/api/latest?os_authType=basic"

It asked me for my password which I duly entered

Enter host password for user 'lee.myring@mycompany.com':

And I received

So I tried this...

curl -X GET --user lee.myring@mycompany.com:*** "https://mycompany.atlassian.net/bamboo/rest/api/latest?os_authType=basic"

and received this...

&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"&gt;
&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;302 Found&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Found&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The document has moved &lt;a href="https://mycompany.atlassian.net/builds/rest/api/latest?os_authType=basic"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;address&gt;Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at mycompany.atlassian.net Port 80&lt;/address&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;

So I then tried this...

curl -X GET --user lee.myring@mycompany.com:*** "https://mycompany.atlassian.net/builds/rest/api/latest?os_authType=basic"

and received this...

&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;Apache Tomcat/6.0.32 - Error report&lt;/title&gt;&lt;style&gt;&lt;!--H1 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:22px;} H2 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:16px;} H3 {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;font-size:14px;} BODY {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:black;background-color:white;} B {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;color:white;background-color:#525D76;} P {font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;background:white;color:black;font-size:12px;}A {color : black;}A.name {color : black;}HR {color : #525D76;}--&gt;&lt;/style&gt; &lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;h1&gt;HTTP Status 401 - Basic Authentication Failure - Reason : AUTHENTICATION_DENIED&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;HR size="1" noshade="noshade"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;type&lt;/b&gt; Status report&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;message&lt;/b&gt; &lt;u&gt;Basic Authentication Failure - Reason : AUTHENTICATION_DENIED&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;description&lt;/b&gt; &lt;u&gt;This request requires HTTP authentication (Basic Authentication Failure - Reason : AUTHENTICATION_DENIED).&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;HR size="1" noshade="noshade"&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Apache Tomcat/6.0.32&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;

So I followed it up with the @ symbol replaced with %40 and got the same message of AUTHENTICATIO_DENIED

curl -X GET --user lee.myring%40mycompany.com:*** "https://mycompany.atlassian.net/builds/rest/api/latest?os_authType=basic"

Hello Lee

When running Bamboo under HTTPS protocol, please run the cURL command as per following:

# [METHOD], i.e.: GET, POST, PUT
curl -D- -u [USERNAME] -p -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X [METHOD]

Hi Rafael,

thanks for the super quick response.

Whenever I try to run a command I get 301 Moved Permanently codes...for example

curl -X GET --user username:password "http://mycompany.atlassian.net/bamboo/rest/api/latest?os_authType=basic"

I know all the rest api documentation is for non-cloud bamboo...does it work for Atlassian OnDemand
