Python Example to retrieve information via REST API

Hi,

 

I am looking for a python code example to access the Zephyr REST API.

Expecially how authenification is done. Currently I get 401 response.

The version I am using is:

Zephyr for Jira - Test Management for JIRA (Server) 6.1.1

 

Best regards,

Raphael

    See Process Method - "The Process method returns a Process object by its application name and index. If the process is not found, the method returns an empty object and posts the message “The process … was not found” to the test log". Majority of the methods in TC are like this i.e. returns object or null.

     

    An empty object doesn't throw an exception.

      Hi Matt, thanks a lot for the direction/information.
      I currently have found a python project (mentioned by atlassian) which works for me to extract data. Also the module seems to have a lot of feature and I do not understand it completely. Also  as an authenitfication method I have to provide my domain password, I have not managed to run it with a autentification token.

      But meanwhile I have wriiten a 20-line perl script which uses plain curl invokations to retrieve and upload data using the ZAPI REST API.
      Since this worked better understandable for me I am going to use plain GET/POST resquests using curl.exe on windows.
      I will mark this question as answered. Thanks for your help.
