POST/projects/{ProjectId}/requirements/search

Applies to QAComplete 14.3, last modified on February 19, 2024

Returns a filtered list of requirements declared in the specified QAComplete project.

Use the operation to get a list of all the requirements registered in a QAComplete project. This operation is equivalent to the /project/{ProjectId}/requirements (GET) operation, but this one allows you to send a large filter string.

To get parameters of an individual requirement by its ID, use the …/requirements/{Id} (GET) operation.

Authentication

Basic authentication using a user’s login and password. See Authentication for details.

Security Rights

The authenticating user must belong to a security group that has the Read privilege for Requirements.

Request Format

To get a filtered list of requirements, send a POST request to the following URL:

http://{server}/rest-api/service/api/v1/projects/{ProjectId}/requirements/search?offset={offset}&limit={limit}
URL parameters

ProjectId  :  integer, required

The ID of the project.

offset  :  integer, default: 0

The number of requirements to skip before counting the returned requirements. The default value is 0, which is the offset of the first item. For details, see Paging Through Results Using Offset and Limit.

limit  :  integer, default: 25

The maximum number of requirements to return in the response.

Body parameters

In the request body, pass the RequestRequirementsAllPost object that describes the requirements to search for.

{
"Filter": "string"
}

Some string property values (for example, Status) are based on the choice lists defined in your QAComplete project. You can find these values in the Requirements > Show Requirements > Actions > Manage Choice Lists panel in QAComplete.

Filter  :  string

The filter expression to apply to the returned list. See Search Filters.
