Starting October 11, 2024 (Zephyr Enterprise 8.2), the Zephyr Enterprise documentation moved from its current location on Atlassian to a dedicated, standalone Zephyr Enterprise documentation page. Please see: https://support.smartbear.com/zephyr-enterprise/docs/en/zephyr-enterprise/zephyr-rest-api/search-api.html

You can use Zephyr Enterprise REST API to search for test cases, requirements, and executions programmatically.

Code Block
languagetext
GET http(s)://{ZEPHYR-SERVER}/flex/services/rest/latest/advancesearch?
      word=<text>
      &entitytype=<entitytype>
      &releaseid=<id>

Authentication

You can authenticate your requests by using one of the methods described in the Zephyr REST API topic.

Request parameters

Value

Type

Description

word (required)

string

A string to search for. You can specify some text or a ZQL query (in the latter case, you will have to specify zql=true in the request URL). For example:

  • Text: any text

  • ZQL query: creator="test.manager" and priority="P1"

entitytype (required)

string

The type of the entity to search for. Possible values:

  • requirement

  • testcase

  • execution

releaseid (required)

long

The ID of the release the entity belongs to. To see the release ID in Zephyr, click Manage Release in the top-right corner and take a look at the value of the ID column in the subsequent window:

Image Modified

zql (required)

boolean

Specifies whether ZQL is used. false by default. Set it to true if the word parameter contains a ZQL query.

isascorder (optional)

boolean

Switches the ascending order. Specify true to sort the results in the ascending order or false to sort them in the descending order. By default, it is true.

order (optional)

string

The field to sort data by (this can be either a standard or a custom field). For example: testcaseId, automated, priority, creatorId, orderId and so on. Click here to refer to the Supported fields list.
The default parameter value is orderId. If you specify a custom field, you will also have to set the is_cfield parameter to true (see below).

firstresult (required)

integer

The first element of the retrieved results. The parameter is zero-based, which means you need to specify 0 as the start position to begin with the first element.

maxresults (required)

integer

The number of records to be fetched. The maximum number is

50000

100.

is_cfield (optional)

boolean

If the order parameter specifies a custom field, set is_cfield to true. By default, it is false.

Pagination

You can specify the first element of the retrieved results and the number of items to show by using the firstresult and maxresults query parameters respectively. The firstresult parameter is zero-based, which means you need to specify 0 as the start position to begin with the first element. The sample request below will show a list of results starting from the first element, and the maximum number of retrieved items will be 10100:

GET /flex/services/rest/latest/advancesearch?word=test&entitytype=testcase&releaseid=1&zql=false&firstresult=0&maxresults=10100

Sample requests

ZQL is not used:

GET /flex/services/rest/latest/advancesearch?word=test&entitytype=testcase&releaseid=1&zql=false&firstresult=0&maxresults=10100

ZQL is used:

GET /flex/services/rest/latest/advancesearch?word=creator="test.manager" and priority="P1"&entitytype=testcase&releaseid=1&zql=true&firstresult=0&maxresults=50100

Sample response

On success, the operation returns status code 200 and a JSON object containing metadata and found results. The structure of these results varies depending on the sought-for entities, items and so on. Below is a sample response obtained when searching for an execution:

...

        "resultSize": 0,

    }
]
