YouTrack rest API

[Jon Crump]

Trying to build an app using the YouTrack rest API, the service works as tested in the builder, when I come to run in it the browser, it returns a failed response, however using the inspector in Chrome, I can see the call was successful (status code 200) with a little green icon. Why is the successful call interpreted as a failure?

Hello! Could you send us your app link or clarify how we can define the service to test.

This is my project:

Username: rest_api_user
Password: VMPGroup1234

And youtrack documentation on the login call:

Thanks for your help

Thank you. We'll test

Hello! In settings please set Data type to xml instead of json.

[Jon Crump]

Thanks for your help, that part is working now.

So when I login a cookie is returned which I need for the next step, this isn't part of the XML response though, how can I capture this to a Local Storage Variable?
I created a parameter in the response and mapped it to a Local Storage Variable, but it's always empty as the cookie is in the header not in the XML response.

Read the cookie value with JavaScript

[Jon Crump]

Sounds simple, I tried using Jquery code to access the cookie.
($.cookie) but that doesn't work.
I tried to include the Jquery cookie plugin as a JavaScript file but that causes errors too. (https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-co...)
Seems like that could be a useful library to have included.

Can you offer any more assistance on the JavaScript and the best place to put it? Currently on the completed event of the service.

So I can read the cookies for the page, but it seems it's different to read the cookies returned from the rest api, that they are separate.

[Maryna Brodina]

To make your service send and get Cookie while HTTP request use "Run Javascript" instead of "Invoke Service"

restservice1.execute({xhrFields: {
withCredentials: true
}})

restservice1 - name of data sourse component in "Data" tab
This parameter withCredentials: true will allow send and get Cookie automatically
