API Operations for Automation Jobs
Base URL, authentication, data formats
The operations described below work for both Cloud and On-Premise instances of Zephyr Enterprise. They use the same authentication parameters and data formats that other Zephyr API operations use. For complete information on these, see Zephyr REST API.
Respose codes
The API operations described below use the following response codes:
Response code | Description |
---|---|
200 | The operation has been completed successfully. |
400 | Error in request data or parameters. For instance, the project or job with the specified id doesn’t exist. |
401 | Authentication error (authentication token is missing). |
403 | Error. You don’t have permissions to perform this operation. |
500 | Internal server error. |
Create an automation job
To create a new automation job, use this operation:
POST http://<zephyr-server-address>/flex/services/rest/v4/upload-file/automation/create-job-detail
Request data
The request body specifies properties of the job to be created.
Job properties:
Property | Description |
---|---|
| String. The name of the new job. It will identify the job in the product UI. This parameter cannot be an empty string. |
| Integer. The identifier of the project, to which the new job will post the results. How to get the project id: Log in to Zephyr, and select your project from the drop-down list on the top. You will see the project id in the URL: |
| Integer. The identifier of the release, to which the new job will post the results. How to get the release id: Log in to Zephyr and select your project and release from the drop-down lists on the top. You will see the release id in the URL: |
| String. The automation framework to be used for the test run. Use the same values that the Automation Framework drop-down list in the product UI has. |
| String. The name of the cycle to be used. |
| String. The cycle phase to be used for the run. |
| Integer. Id of the test case repository item. |
| The Zephyr test repository that contains the tests to be executed. Use the names as they are shown in the product UI. Separate levels with the |

"timeStamp": false }
If the operation failed, it returns one of the error codes.
Schedule a job run
To schedule the run of one or multiple jobs, use the following operation:
POST http://<zephyr-server-address>/flex/services/rest/v4/upload-file/automation/execute-job
Request data
The request body contains an object with the ids
property that is an array of job identifiers to be used for the run. You can find this identifier in the response of the operation that created the automation job.
{"ids":[1, 2, 3]}
Response data
If the operation succeeds, the response code is 200 OK
and the response body contains information on the scheduled run. The id
property is the identifier of the run. You can use it later to check the job status, or to stop or cancel a job.
Example:
[ { "id": 1, "status": "new", "jobScheduleDate": 1643879667503, "cycleDuration": 0 } ]
If the operation fails, it returns of the error codes.
Create and execute a job
The following operation creates a new job and commands the test engine to run it:
POST http://<zephyr-server-address>/flex/services/rest/v4/upload-file/automation/create-and-execute-job
Request data
The request body specifies the name, project, release, cycle, and other properties of the created job. These are the values described above.

and the response body contains information on the scheduled run:
Example:
{ "id": 20, "status": "new", "jobScheduleDate": 1643962371009, "cycleDuration": 0 }
If the operation fails, it returns of the error codes.
Get job status
Use this operation:
GET http://<zephyr-server-address>/flex/services/rest/v4/upload-file/automation/schedule/get-latest-job-progress?jobid={ID}
Request data and URL parameters
The request body is not used. The jobid
parameter in the URL specifies the identifier of the job whose status you want to check. You get this identifier in the response to the operation that created the job.
Response data
If the operation succeeds, the response status is 200 OK
and the response body has information on the job and its cycle.
Example:
{ "id": 1, "automationJobDetailId": 1, "status": "complete", "jobScheduleDate": 1643879667000, "cycleId": 4, "cycleDuration": 0 }
