h1. Using the REST API with Ruby {{>toc}} Redmine REST API follows the Rails's RESTful conventions, so using it with "ActiveResource":http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveResource/Base.html is pretty straightforward. h2. ActiveResource (Rails) On Redmine 3.x (Rails 4.2), you need to add 'activeresource' gem. For example, at Gemfile.local: <pre><code class="ruby"> gem 'activeresource' </code></pre> Here is a simple ruby script that demonstrates how to use the Redmine REST API: <pre> <code class="ruby"> require 'rubygems' require 'active_resource' # Issue model on the client side class Issue < ActiveResource::Base self.site = 'http://redmine.server/' self.user = 'foo' self.password = 'bar' end if false # Retrieving issues issues = Issue.find(:all) puts issues.first.subject end # Retrieving an issue issue = Issue.find(1) puts issue.description puts issue.author.name # Creating an issue issue = Issue.new( :subject => 'REST API', :assigned_to_id => 1, :project_id => 1 # custom field with id=2 exist in database :custom_fields => [{id: 2, value: "IT"}] ) if issue.save puts issue.id else puts issue.errors.full_messages end # Updating an issue issue = Issue.find(1) issue.subject = 'REST API' issue.save # Deleting an issue issue = Issue.find(1) #issue.destroy </code> </pre> _You may need to set @include_root_in_json = true@ in your ActiveResource class_ h2. Pure Ruby (Using only Ruby Core) (without Rails) Here is an example to set the status of Issue !#9599 to internal status_id 1 with a @net/http@ PUT-request: <pre><code class="ruby"> require 'net/https' require 'uri' require 'json' def update_issue_status issue_id, new_status_id, change_note base_url = "https://your.redmine.example.com" api_token = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" payload = { issue: { notes: change_note, status_id: new_status_id } } url = "#{base_url}/issues/#{issue_id}.json" uri = URI.parse(url) req = Net::HTTP::Put.new(uri.request_uri) req["Content-Type"] = "application/json" req['X-Redmine-API-Key'] = api_token req.body = payload.to_json http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port) http.use_ssl = true response = http.request(req) return response end # Set Status of issue #9599 to internal status_id = 1 response = update_issue_status 9599, 1, "Changed Issue Status via REST-API" </code></pre>
