h1. Using the REST API with cURL 

 "curl":http://curl.haxx.se/ is a command-line tool for transferring data using various protocols. It can be used to interact with the Redmine REST API. 

 h2. Using JSON 

 Here is a simple example of a command that can be used to update an issue: 

 <pre> 
 curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT --data-binary "@388.json" -u login:password http://redmine/issues/388.json 
 curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT --data-binary "@388.json" -H "X-Redmine-API-Key: xxxx" http://redmine/issues/388.json 
 </pre> 

 The file that contains the data sent to Redmine (388.json in the example above) would look like this: 

 <pre> 
 { 
   "issue": { 
     "subject": "subject123", 
     "notes": "Changing the subject" 
   } 
 } 
 </pre> 

 Note: it's required to set the @Content-Type@ header according to the format of the data you are sending. It must be set to one the following values: 
 * @application/json@ 
 * @application/xml@ 

 h2. Using XML 


 Here is a simple example of a command that can be used to create an issue with custom fields: 

 <pre> 
 curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X POST --data-binary "@issue.xml" -u login:password http://redmine/issues.xml 
 curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X POST --data-binary "@issue.xml" -H "X-Redmine-API-Key: xxxx" http://redmine/issues.xml 

 </pre> 

 Where issue.xml content is: 

 <pre> 
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 
 <issue> 
   <subject>API custom fields</subject> 
   <project_id>1</project_id> 
   <tracker_id>2</tracker_id> 
   <custom_fields type="array"> 
     <custom_field> 
       <id>2</id> 
       <value>Fixed</value> 
     </custom_field> 
     <custom_field> 
       <id>1</id> 
       <value>0.8.2</value> 
     </custom_field> 
   </custom_fields> 
 </issue> 
 </pre> 

 h2. Text formatting 

 If you want to use some text formatting (e.g to update a wiki page on your project), you should make sure to use curl's option @--data-binary@ instead of @--data@ to load the file. Only that way, curl will send newline characters unchanged and will retain all formatting. 

 <pre>curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X PUT --data-binary "@wiki.xml" -u login:password http://redmine/projects/foo/wiki/page_test.xml</pre> 

 Where wiki.xml content is: 

 <pre> 
 <?xml version="1.0"?> 
 <wiki_page> 
 <text> 
 h1. TITLE 

  %{font-size:14pt}SUBTITLE% 
 </text> 
 </wiki_page> 
 </pre> 

 

 h2. Attaching files 

 If you want to create an issue with image.png attached, you need to upload this file first: 

 <pre> 
 curl --data-binary "@image.png" -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" -X POST -u login:password http://redmine/uploads.xml?filename=image.png http://redmine/uploads.xml 

 # 201 response 
 <upload> 
   <token>7167.ed1ccdb093229ca1bd0b043618d88743</token> 
 </upload> 
 </pre> 

 Then, use the token to create the issue: 

 <pre> 
 curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X POST --data-binary "@issue.xml" -u login:password http://redmine/issues.xml 
 </pre> 

 Where issue.xml content is: 

 <pre> 
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 
 <issue> 
   <subject>Issue with attachment</subject> 
   <project_id>1</project_id> 
   <uploads type="array"> 
     <upload> 
       <token>7167.ed1ccdb093229ca1bd0b043618d88743</token> 
       <filename>image.png</filename> 
       <content_type>image/png</content_type> 
     </upload> 
   </uploads> 
 </issue> 
 </pre>
