Enabling Minimum successful builds merge check through REST API

Question

Hi, I've been looking at the REST API to try and find a way to enable some merge checks on projects and repos but have found a few that require configuration as well as being enabled. So far I've been able to enable some hooks without configurations using: curl -u -X PUT -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https:///rest/api/1.0/projects//repos//settings/hooks//enabled -d "{\"enabled\":\"true\"}" Is there a way through the API to enable and configure a merge check?

Nice work!

I managed to resolve this problem by pushing the configurations for the hooks to the "/enabled" URL. For example with the Minimum Successful Builds merge check, used the following: curl -u -X PUT -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https:///rest/api/1.0/projects//repos//settings/hooks//enabled -d "{\"requiredCount\":\"2\"}" This enabled and configured the merge check.

When I try to PUT "enabled:true" against "/settings" I get an error back saying:

{"errors":[{"context":"requiredCount","message":"The number of required builds must be provided.","exceptionName":null}]}

This made me think I'd have to push the settings as well so I tried "enabled:true, requiredCount:2" but it still didn't populate the configuration correctly.

I'm still fairly new to the REST API so I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing in the call or if this is even possible.

We're wanting to use the REST API to enable/modify different merge checks across numerous repos as a way of managing them in an automated way.
