Zephyr Essential?
Hi everyone. We're having the same API issues as everyone else. We spoke with our OPS team and they are telling us the product is now called Zephyr Essential. I see almost no mention of that product the site, but did find a page that mentioned it has enhanced API functionality. So I'd assume there are new API endpoints for this? Anyone know what's going on here?
What are the rate limits of the API?
Since March 8, 2025 we have been getting HTTP 429 responses on rest/api/1.0/cycles/search. There is a page in documentation about that, but it does not contain the actual limits - https://support.smartbear.com/zephyr-squad-cloud-v1/docs/en/zephyr-squad-cloud-rest-api/api-rate-limiting-guide.html Also, the 429 responses contain retry-after header, but the value is always 0. Of course, if I retry immediately, it fails again the same way. I tried implementing exponential backoff, but even 120 second delay was not enough. Which seems contradictory to the documentation that describes limits as per minute. Has anyone discovered what the actual limits are?

Hi. Background We are migrating from a different test management tool to Zephyr Squad. Currently using the JIRA plugin version 1.3.30-AC. All data from the source tool is available in our file system. We plan to utilize the Zephyr Squad REST API (v2.7) for the migration process. (Documentation: Zephyr Squad API v2.7) Please refer to the planned result after our migration below. I was going through the API documentation but couldn’t find any information about handling attachments. Please guide me to achieve this. Thank you! Kind regards!
How do I upload evidence(image or video or any results) via API ?
Hi everyone, I am able to change the status of executions and add comments via api, but I also need to add some evidence such as image file, video file, or results.json/txt file. How do I do that ? or is there any way to upload the file programmatically?
Execute test Using API
I created a cycle, added my test to it and got the "Execution ID" all using API. But when I try to get the Test step Execution IDs so that I can update the statuses of the individual test step. The API just returns an empty array. But when I call the same API after I click the execute button in UI it returns the relevant data. Is there a way to execute the test using API. I don't want to UI every time for this. Thanks
How to generate JWT TOKEN from Postman
Hi Doug & Team, There seems to be some confusion. Kindly help me out here as soon as possible. My issue is How to generate JWT token from Postman itself. I have SecretKey, access Key, AccoutnId, Zephyr base URL also. Please just guide me how to use these details to generate JWT token from Postman. I am not talking about usage of the JWT TOKEN. I am asking about the process of generating JWT token via Postman. Thank you
`status` param ignored when creating execution via API
We're adding integration to Zephyr Squad via API. According to the documentation for the `create_execution` endpoint, we should be able to pass the parameter `status`, as an Object and set it to whatever value we want. We wanted to have this attribute set to "WIP". However, this parameter is simply ignored. These are the bodies of the request that were tested: '{"status":{"id":3},"projectId":10000,"issueId":10050,"versionId":-1,"cycleId":-1}' # supposed to be the right one '{"status":{"name":"WIP"},"projectId":10000,"issueId":10050,"versionId":-1,"cycleId":-1}' '{"status":{"name":"WIP","id":3},"projectId":10000,"issueId":10050,"versionId":-1,"cycleId":-1}' '{"status":3,"projectId":10000,"issueId":10050,"versionId":-1,"cycleId":-1}' '{"status":{"id":1},"projectId":10000,"issueId":10050,"versionId":-1,"cycleId":-1}' Neither of the above worked and each time in response we were getting an execution with the status "UNEXECUTED": ... "status":{"name":"UNEXECUTED","id":-1... Is there something we can do to make it work? Temporarily we'll be using a second call to update the created execution on the `update_execution` endpoint.
