Getting each time a 404 with Xray API's

[Deepak Sharma]

Hi Team,

I am using Xray plug- in with JIRA (Both cloud version) and I want to automate the test status of JIRA stories automate with the help of API's.

I am able to create/delete Jira issues with Jira API's

But am facing 404 each time I am trying to access Xray API's.

Below are some examples:

JIRA API: Working.

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET -u Username:API_Token http://testing.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/TEST-123/editmeta

Response: 200 Success

Message: JSON (As expected)

Xray API: Not working.

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET -u Username:API_Token http://testing.atlassian.net/rest/raven/1.0/api/test?keys=TEST-123

Response: 404 Not Found

<status-code>404</status-code>

<message>null for uri: http://testing.atlassian.net/rest/raven/1.0/api/test <message>

Note: URL for both is "http://testing.atlassian.net/..............."  and same authentication "Username:API_Token" I am using for JIRA and Xray API's.

I am not sure what I am missing because all of the JIRA API's are working but none of the Xray API is working.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi @Deepak Sharma ,

I think there is some confusion.

First, you are referring to different APIs.

• The following API request belongs to Jira REST API (it's not a Xray API endpoint):

http://testing.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/TEST-123/editmeta

• This API request is not correct at all (neither the URL, nor the request):

http://testing.atlassian.net/rest/raven/1.0/api/test?keys=TEST-123

If you're using Xray Cloud, as it seems, then the endpoint always starts with something like this: https://xray.cloud.xpand-it.com.

Xray Cloud provides two different APIs: one REST API (mostly for importing test automation results) and one GraphQL based (which provides a lot more operations).

You can find more about these two APIs at: https://docs.getxray.app/display/XRAYCLOUD/API

Note: if you aim to export cucumber tests (i.e. generate .feature files based on Cucumber Tests defined in Jira), you will need to use this endpoint:

https://docs.getxray.app/display/XRAYCLOUD/Exporting+Cucumber+Tests+-+REST+v2

You need to have a token first, which requires you to call the authentication where you provide the client_id and client_secret of an API key created in Xray settings:

endpoint: https://docs.getxray.app/display/XRAYCLOUD/Authentication+-+REST+v2

Trying https://myserver.atlassian.net/rest/raven/2.0/api/test/TEST-500/steps in postman getting 

<status>

    <status-code>404</status-code>

    <message>null for uri: https://cahsr.atlassian.net/rest/raven/2.0/api/test/EMMA3-500/steps</message>

</status>

the https://myserver.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/TEST-578 works 

Why cant i access xray api?

Hi @Sergio Freire - Xblend 

I am trying to get test case for test execution via this endpoint 

https://<company_name>.atlassian.net/rest/raven/2.0/api/testexec/XR-2176/test 

However, it throws 

null for uri: https://<company_name>.atlassian.net/rest/raven/2.0/api/testexec/XR-2176/test

When I try

 https://xray.cloud.xpand-it.com/rest/raven/2.0/api/testexec/XR-2176/test

 it throws

 Cannot GET /rest/raven/2.0/api/testexec/XR-2176/test<

Hi @Piyush Nimoria 

Those REST API only work on Xray Data Cente/Server, they don't work in Xray Cloud, since in practical terms are two different products.

In Xray Cloud you need to use GraphQL API: https://docs.getxray.app/display/XRAYCLOUD/GraphQL+API

Thank you.

Hi, Im also having the same issue 

making a  GET to https://<my company>.atlassian.net/rest/raven/2.0/api/test/<my ticket>/step

Using Basic Auth: email and api token as password

and im getting:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<status>

<status-code>404</status-code>

<message>null for uri: https://<my company>.atlassian.net/rest/raven/2.0/api/test/<my ticket>/step</message>

</status>

Any resolutions for this issue above? ^^

[Sergio Freire - Xblend]

that URL (e.g. /rest/raven/2.0/api/test/<my ticket>/step)  is from Xray for Jira datacenter... not for Xray on Jira cloud.

On Xray cloud, to obtain informations on test entities you need to use the GraphQL API instead. You can see the available APIS in the Xray  cloud documentation.
