Project Streams can be accessed and modified through this API using four services: GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH. These four services allow for retrieving, creating, completely updating, and partially updating Project Streams, as well as populating files from a Project Stream.

...

If we had a Project Stream in our database with an Id of 11101 belonging to a project with an Id of 10002 and the following attributes:

Code Block
themeEclipse
titleProject Stream- 11101
{
   "description": "Stream Description",
   "isActive": true,
   "streamName": "FirstStream",
   "versionSyntaxScript": "\"1.0.\" + SequenceNumber",
   "attribute3": "three",
   "attribute2": "two",
   "attribute1": "one",
   "streamId": 11101,
   "sequenceNumber": 3
}

When we run a GET request at the following URL:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project/10002/stream/11101,

The GET request would return the following JSON Project Stream object:

Code Block
themeEclipse
titleProject Stream GET Return JSON
{
   "description": "Stream Description",
   "isActive": true,
   "streamName": "FirstStream",
   "versionSyntaxScript": "\"1.0.\" + SequenceNumber",
   "attribute3": "three",
   "attribute2": "two",
   "attribute1": "one",
   "streamId": 11101,
   "sequenceNumber": 3
}

GET (Using Query Parameters)

This GET service will return a list of Project Streams from the specified project in the form of JSON objects based on the query parameter streamname. Project Streams are only returned if they match all of the specified query parameters and belong to the corresponding Project. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of Streams within the specified Project.

Info
titleAPI URLs

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project/{projectid}/stream?

Append the following character sequences to the above URL to specify Query parameters.

Use '&' between successive query parameters: 

streamName={streamName}

isActive={boolean}

Examples:

To search by code only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project/{projectid}/stream?streamName={name}

To search by isActive and code:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project/{projectid}/stream?isActive={boolean}&streamName={name}

...

If we had a Project (10002) with the following streams

When we run a GET request at the following URL:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project/10002/stream?streamName=Stream5,

The GET request would return the  following JSON Project Stream object:

      "description": "123",
      "streamName": "Stream5",
      "isActive": true,
