Release API

Releases can be retrieved through this API using a GET service.

Authentication - Use Basic Authentication for this API.

GET

There are two implementations of GET. One will find a Release with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the Release. The other will find a list of Releases matching the parameters supplied to it.

GET (By Id)

This GET service will return the JSON representation of a release given a release Id.

Example

If we had a release in our database with an Id of 11101 and had the following attributes

Release PUT JSON
{
   "projects": [   {
      "buildEnvironmentId": null,
      "projectGroups": null,
      "packageName": "Package 1",
      "projectId": 33442,
      "projectStreamId": 3502,
      "requestAllFiles": false,
      "priority": 1
   }],
   "startDate": null,
   "endDate": null,
   "scheduleBuildExpression": null,
   "pipelineId": null
   "releaseStatus": "STARTED",
   "description": null,
   "releaseName": "Release Created From REST API",
   "releaseId": 13607,
   "pipelineName": null,
   "properties": []
}

When we run a PUT request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/releases/11101

And the PUT request receives the following JSON release object,

Release PUT Receive JSON
{
   "projects": [
		"projectId": 6789,
		"projectStreamId": 6790
	],
   "startDate": null,
   "endDate": null,
   "scheduleBuildExpression": null,
   "pipelineId": 12345,
   "releaseStatus": "NOTSTARTED",
   "description": "This is the updated Release",
   "releaseName": "Release Created From REST API",
   "pipelineName": "Pipeline 1",

       {
         "propertyValue": "3",
         "propertyName": "TESTPROPERTY"
       }     
   ]
}

The PUT request would then update the release with Id 11101 and return the following JSON release object. Notice that project with Id 33442 was removed and project with Id 6789 was added to the release. In this case, the buildEnvironmentId was automatically initialized.

Release PUT Return JSON
{
   "projects": [
      "buildEnvironmentId": 22478,
      "projectGroups": null,
      "packageName": null,
      "projectId": 6789,
      "projectStreamId": 6790,
      "requestAllFiles": false,
