Archive Test Executions API

Using Zephyr Squad Server REST API, you can access test execution data and manage test executions including archiving and unarchiving them.

Overview

Authentication

This API uses Basic authentication with your Jira username and password. Authentication is done by setting the following header for all the requests:

Authorization: Basic TOKEN

Where TOKEN is a base64-encoded string username:password. For example, if your login is admin and your password is qwerty123456, you need to Base64-encode the string admin:qwerty123456, which gives you YWRtaW46cXdlcnR5MTIzNDU2. The final header will be as follows:

Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46cXdlcnR5MTIzNDU2

If you use cURL to send requests, use the -u flag to specify your username and password:

curl -u "admin:qwerty123456" https://...

JSON format

This API uses JSON as the data format for requests and responses. POST and PUT requests containing a JSON request body must include the Content-Type header:

Content-Type: application/json

Response codes

200 - Success, the request was accepted and processed successfully.

400 - Bad request, check the error message in the response body.

401 - Unauthorized, ensure that the request is authenticated with the correct username and password, and that the credentials were provided in the expected format.

403 - Forbidden, ensure that the permissions required to execute this command were provided.

404 - Not found, check the API URL.

500 - Internal server error, ensure that the server is up, and Zephyr Squad is configured correctly for using the API.
